A short YouTube monologue by Rebeccah Silence reflecting on why people fear their own power and greatness. The speaker cites Marianne Williamson’s idea that we "fear our light" more than our darkness, argues that fearing personal power is unnecessary and often learned through family/abuse cycles, and urges rejecting the myth that one’s power could be "too much."

How normal is it for us to be afraid of our power more than anything else? Marianne Williamson talks about, it's not our dark. It's our light that we fear. It's our greatness that we fear more than any fear of failure. And it's unnecessary. It's unnecessary to fear our power. And just like abuse cycles and abuse patterns can get passed on to our children, so can the modeling that we should fear our own greatness and our own power, or that our own greatness or our own power could ever be too much. It's a lie. It's a myth. It's bullshit. And it's unnecessary to be in that conversation with ourselves, modeling that for our children.
