Advanced 2 Motivation Theme: Dare to Be Great

Hi everyone,

Here is the poem/speech we looked at briefly in class yesterday and also
the accompanying video. Enjoy! Hope it motivaties you for the year ahead! ; )

Dare To Be Great

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.
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.
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.

The source of the speech is here.
