I am watching this movie “Akeehla and the Bee” about a girl going to the National Spelling Bee. I heard this quote that hit home to me and I needed to blog it.
It goes:
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 frightens us most. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? - Marianne Williamson
I have long known that I am capable of doing anything, as I believe anyone is as well. Sometimes, I wonder why I am not as successful as I know I can be. Don’t get me wrong, I live a comfortable existence and have many things that I am happy is in my life. However, at times, I feel I am not doing things at my peak potential. At times, I feel I am holding myself back.
I know it sounds odd, but I think this quote hit home for me. I am afraid of success. I am afraid of the responsibility that goes with it. I need to get over it.
