“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. |
marianne williamson (as famously quoted by Nelson Mandela) |
I thought it would be appropriate to explain the name of my blog as the first blog entry. I chose the title for my blog based on one of the philosophies of life that I live by: Never shrink back out of fear.
At first I wondered, how could the fear of succeeding and prospering make anyone fearful? Then I re-read the poem and I stopped at the third line and digested the true depth of how “our light,” our potential our depth our ideas our skills, can be shut down and quieted by simply by the fear of what will happen the split second after the “light” is given out.
“With great power comes great responsibility” and if knowledge is power then those of us with ideas are in for it.
