The Truth Behind Strengths: By Arianne Dorval

A quote is important and powerful words said or written by someone who wants to pass along a message. There are all sorts of quotes on different topics, but they are all as important as one another, including Marianne Williamson's titled Our Deepest Fear. She expressed herself effectively in her writing. This quote's meaning is that doing our best is what we should always do. It strengthens our confidence and gives others permission to do the same. Doing our best is using our strengths to their fullest and the author refers to this message with shining. When we shine, it makes us who we are. It may also help develop new relations with others who are also showing their strengths. Marianne Williamson mentions that there is nothing enlightened about shrinking and that it is better when we leave our weaknesses behind. It serves the world to show people what we are good at.

''We are all meant to shine, as children do.'' This line is meaningful to me because I can relate to it easily with experiences. It's meaning is that demonstrating our moral, mental or physical forces just like children brag in a good way about their accomplishments is a quality and we are all meant to do it. I can also connect to this line because I babysit often and the kids always want to show me their learning skills or their new dance move. I am different from them because I don't show off my skills like they do, although i should. This phrase is relevant to others because we all experienced or saw a child showing off their new ability. To represent this sentences, I chose a picture of a girl doing a cartwheel. She is exposing her ability in acrobatics; which reminds me of Joëlle who I babysit. She always wants to show me her cartwheels. She likes to receive compliments and showing me how she improves over the years. We should all be like Joëlle and like all other children. We should show our strengths as much as possible. It makes us who we are.
