Our Deepest Fear by Marianne Williamson

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

これは、映画「コーチカーター」に一部が抜粋・使用された原文です。今週金曜日に、クラスで「Wisdom/Quote」をプレゼンする際に使用しようかと考えています。授業のレベルが高く、おまけに課題が多くて大変ですが、明らかに努力が「成長」と言う形で自分に跳ね返ってくるので、準備をしていて楽しくてたまりません。ユーモアの要素も忘れずにいれて完璧なプレゼンが出来るよう、金曜日までに調整していきたいと思います。
