The other day I just watched the movie Coach Carter.  The movie was good, well of course it has basketball in it and plus it has a good story too.  Anyway, coach Carter asked a question to one of his players "What do you fear most?" One player answered, it caught my attention because, it is quite true. After the movie, I just had to have this quote.   Well, here's the full text from the movie.

"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 and fabulous? Actually, who are you not
to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the
world. 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."

I heard from a source that this quote was read by Mandela at his inauguration in 1994, but he was not the original author. The quote was written by Marianne Williamson. It comes from her book, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of "A Course in Miracles." 

Moreover, some people, when asked this question, would say...heights, death, pain, loneliness, destruction, or even the end of the world...etc..and so the list goes on.. Each has his own fear, probably that fear triggered from a terrible past experience that led to trauma or possibly, one hasn't taken a chance/ risk to take it, doesn't even know what its like, but fears it most because he doesn't want to be caught off guard, or rather he fears that he'll become weak once he take that risk. 

I myself, have a lot of fears, well, not to the point that I'm terrified, petrified and stupified.  I guess I haven't got to the point to really fear something, like some see on others.  I have fear of heights, closed spaces etc...but I'm not really scared, well, maybe just a little.  But asked that question, "What I fear most?"I know I fear most is losing my family and loved ones.  I don't want anything to happen to them.   I guess, I know the pain of losing them...that is why I fear it.

It's simple to know your fear, but realizing it and conquering it takes time and courage.  That is why, I in my all might do everything so as nothing could go wrong/ or nothing wrong happen to my family and loved ones.  I know, there will come a time that things won't turn out the way I planned it, where things are not in my hands, couldn't even grasp it.  But I guess this fear that I have needs only three things to overcome it, that is, love, trust and faith in God.  There's a reason I have that fear, God gave me that fear...to face it.  I may not be facing it now, but I know in time I will.  And when that fear challenges me one day...I'll be prepared, just as God has prepared that fear so as for me to be stronger, to be a better person, disciple.
