'Your remedy is within you, but you do not sense it. Your sickness is from you, but you do not perceive it. You presume you are a small entity, but within you is enfolded the entire Universe. You are indeed the Evident Book, by whose alphabet the Hidden becomes Manifest. Therefore you have no need to look beyond yourself. What you seek is within you, if only you reflect.’
Imam Ali (A.S)
"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'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."

As I live and learn, some very strange questions enter my head. Some are worth following up. Some are worth sharing. Some are just random. Enjoy.

I like that. Thats not what you were saying is from 'Call to Carter' is it? Anyway, it reminds me of what T.E.Edison said -"If we were to do the things that we are truly capable of, we would surely astound ourselves."
Yup, part (most) of the passage is quoted in Coach Carter. Thanks for the quote!
