Fears to strengths: By Alexandre de Varennes

You're in a dark room. Spiders are crawling everywhere along with snakes. There are shadows lurking around and from time to time you'd hear an evil laugh. To many people, this is a scene that they would dread or fear about. Although not all fear is based off of horror. Some fears, such as in the quote "Our deepest fear" by Marianne Williamson, are more personal and affect us in our subconscious.

The quote "Our deepest fear" explains the meaning, never underestimate yourself and never hide your strengths. The meaning shows how you should never think you're not good at something because people all have their own strengths and weaknesses. People should show off their strengths, not their weaknesses. "...as we let our own light shine we unconsciously give others permission to do so." (Our deepest fear). Show off your strengths and others will follow. I chose the line, "We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?" (Our deepest fear). This line means that you shouldn't underestimate yourself, you have your strengths. The reason I chose this quote is because as a small child I was never confident about myself and I was wondering almost the exact things said in the part of the quote that I had chosen. As I grew up, I realized that I was unique in my own way and so I opened up and showed my strengths.

When I read the sentence I chose, I imagine an eight year old version of me sitting on the sidewalk in a black and white tone wondering to himself, who was he to be special. The reason for this image is because I had a lack of confidence as a child. Although, as I read on in the quote I imagined that little version of me get coloured in and his life gets turned around. He gets up and goes to see people who are in a depressed, sad or questionable black and white state and he brings colour to them. Only someone with colour or happiness can help the sad and colourless. I try to give people permission to shine. Now won't you join me to help show off our strengths?
