Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are are powerful,beyond measures.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
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 were all meant to shine, as children.
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.

There is an unspoken thread tht binds the relationship between a man and his God, a mother and he child, a people and its elected leaders, and numerous other ties tht are healthy and strong.
It is called Trust
You will understand wat Trust is, and why it means so much to people, if you have done a simple excercise called the Trust fall. The trust fall was an integral part of a US-based outdor team building programme. I remembered u neeeded a wooden inverted L platform set 2m above the ground. You climb up, step to the platform's forwad edge, turn half around, cross ur arms over ur chest, elbows tucked into ut rib cage, healls together. Than u fall backwards into the waiting interlocked arms of ur team mates below. They are formed in a row facing each other, their arms locked in, forearms and palms faced flat up to catch u. It is not as easy as it seems. This is a test tht of whether u have enough trust to totalli give up control of ur reflexes and believe tht ur team mates will not let u hit the ground. Not surprisingly very few people are able to fall gracefully. Becos very few are able to give up control completely. There are a number of improbables here tht act to screw you up. 1stly, u are not 2m above ground. When u are at the edge of the platform and u look down at ur lined up team mates, u are nearly4m above ground. Tht's becos ur preception of height up there rest in ur eye's not ur feet. N so u will feel dizzy and very vulnerable. 2ndly try as u may, it is so tough to give up control of ur own will to survive. Our deep primeval instinct to live is too strg to surrender to anyone readily, this is why betrayal of trust translates into a very personal hurt. When u entrust ur life or well being to the other guy u expect tht it will be very will looked after, like his own. No less
Trust is like a silk thread strong yet easily frayed, snip it and its goodbye.
