A revelation

 All your life you've wanted this one thing,it's been something that you've always kept at the back of your mind and close to your heart,but it would take a leap of faith to get it. It could be a job in a different town to a hobby you want to try. Though you've never went for it due to the barriers that people around you have put up. Maybe you don't want to leave your mom for that job and your friends find that hobby stupid. This quote by Marianne Williamson reveals the truth about your biggest fear and why it shouldn't even be fearful. Williamson bluntly writes the hidden truth,solution, meaning to our problems in a paragraph. She reveals the fact that we should all just be ourselves,and that once the stigma of "not being normal" is released from our minds we can finally perspire and be our best most inspiring selves. I connected personally most to the line:" there is nothing enlightened about shrinking yourselves so other people won't feel insecure" witch is true, because if you are going to commit to truly being yourself you can't shrink your personality and brilliance for others comfort. Also the act of not shrinking yourself will eventually inspire others to be their best, brightest selves. When I think about this quote and in particular this line I think about the photo I took in British Colombia around a year and a half ago, because of what it represents to me. It was the first time I ever felt free of my problems and inspired as this quote has. Mostly because I was realizing who I wanted to be. I didn't have anyone to tell me," it's too far away" or "you have people who need you" etc. I had no barriers or boundaries. It represents me not shrinking.

To Be Or Not To Be Empty By Mahee-Lee Morel-Pare

A picture I drew

Everyone is afraid of something. Fear is shows that we are human , it proves that we are not empty. But what if we feared to become empty. People should not run away from their dreams and hide in the darkness. Since dreams is our strength. The line " It is our light, not our darkness that most frighten us" from "Our Deepest Fear" by Marianne Williamson says the same thing. The meaning of this line and this blog is that people are afraid of what other think. The light is our strength and the darkness is our fear. Will I be good enough? What if I do it wrong? If you ask find yourself thinking, for exemple at public preformence or when you talk to someone. That means that you are blocking yourself off from what you could be, going away from the light.It is like if you meet someone really popular. Then, since you want to fit in, you do things that in other circumstances you would not do. So doing that is like stepping away from what is you because you are afraid of judgement and be like everyone.which is not good. Now here is another way to see it, imagine a place where it is separated in black and white. So. in the part tha is black, there is a person on there knees with his head bowed down. I think that this image fit the meaning perfectly because the person is hiding from what someone special and unique. This is why we must never hide away from the light because that is what make us shine. If there was not any light in the world it would be like if everyone was empty.



Our deepest fear by Dwayne

Fear, a feeling everyone has already felt. But not any kind of fear, the fear of being yourself. That's what the quote "our deepest fear" by Marianne Williamson is all about. We are influenced by what think and say about us, but that isn't who we really are. Marianne use a simple line in her quote that say's "Who are you not to be" (referring to yourself),

 If I had to picture this quote it would be someone looking at himself in a mirror because if anyone else would look in the same mirror they wouldn't see the same as you did because there's only one "You". It's true that we are scared to be ourselves, we do it to be like everyone else or to fit in but wouldn't it be boring if everyone was the same?

Your playing small does not serve the world

Quotes were created to inspire people, to push them to their limitis and to support people in hard times. Just like the quote marianne created "your playing small does not serve the world". This is a quote used to inspire peiple that limits themselves. The meaning of this quote is simple, you should never limit yourself because you are scared of being judged, buT that you should show you're strenghts to the whole world. Usually, people limit themselves so that they won't get judge or even notice by others. Life is then easier but is that really how you want to live? I picture this quote like this, there you are in a crowd of people walking somewhere. Everyone including you is the same. You all walk in the same direction not knowing where you are going. There will be people asking question about where they are going and why but not you. You are just playing small and following the flow. You are not making any changes since you are scared of being wrong which is fine of being wrong. We are all humans and not perfect. But no body should hide their strenghts.

The Truth About Fear by: Tyler Purcell-B

what is fear to you ? personally what I fear the most is exposing my potential to the world. And if you think about it it's not the fear of showing your potential it's the fear of being judged. You truly shouldn't care of what other people think of you, because you're meant to shine. The quote "our deepest fear" by Marianne Williamson talks about being afraid to shine, for example singing. if a good singer is asked to sing in front of a crowd he could turn back last minute for the fear of being judged no matter how good he is. this example can be referred to part of the quote when it mentions "our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate." because in both of these examples they're saying that you shouldn't be afraid of showing your potential. Also in the quote of "our deepest fear" there's a sentence that stands out; " it is our light, not our darkness that most frightened us". This means that you should show off your strengths and leave your weaknesses aside. You should value what you're good at and show it off to the world with no fear of being judged. Today is the day that you stop fearing your potential and you will seize the moment. Never hesitate... be you!

Our Deepest Fear by Florencia Flores Peña

We heart it 

What are you afraid of? Fears is one of the most basic human emotions, It is programmed into the nervous system and works like an instinct. From the time we are just little kids, we are equipped with the necessary instincts necessaries to respond with fear or a sense of danger or just feel unsafe.

As Marianne Williamson that show us in her quote "Our Deepest Fear" how we are afraid to show ourself, to show our talent, to show who we are and our talent. Especially the sentence: There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. 

Why we are afraid what other think about us?  Because we were so often repressed either by our first teachers (our parents), then at school by our classmates and teachers, by the people around us.

We heart it

We shekels judged at such a young age that we have forgotten how to live without fear that others say about us.

Mostly when is someone higher than us.  Don't be afraid of who you are and show your talent and show your talent whatever it is.

Let Yourself Shine by Elizabeth Ratté

Many people have the same fear of showing off their talent. By limiting yourself, you take away some very good opportunities. People shouldn't be ashamed to be who they are. No one is limited to do anything and people are scared to show their strength.

As Marianne Williamson would say: who are you not to be? This means that anyone can be the person they want to be. It is not up to the world to decide the future of a person. They are the only one aloud to make that decision. The only way to being successful is to take risks in life and the image beside really shows this. No one wants to be different than the rest of the world. Everyone has that same fear of being looked at if they are different. I can connect to this because it is something that I feel. Being looked at by others or judged is not something that I would like to live. Everyone should let their selves shine. It will only make them happy.
