I just watched Akeela and the Bee with my family and a few cousins. Although i watched it some time back while i was at the movies with Dad, Jane and Carol, it still created the same impact in me. This show brings so much thoughts and forces one to think of their own aspirations and dreams. This movie is full of determination, sympathy and love. The one which caught my attention, and everyone else's was the quote. The quote is extremely meaningful. Here it is:
"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 is not just in some of us; it is 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."
This quote reminds me of a dear friend of mine. (I am very sure you know who you are :D) My message to you: Go all out to pursue your dreams. I will always be there for you!
