Faith is not the belief that everything will be all right tomorrow, but the belief that I possess the strength to make everything all right today.

The most delightful surprise in life is to suddenly recognize your own worth.

Confidence of a dedicated person, seems to be over-confidence to ordinary masses.

If you spend enough time with someone who doubts you, you can't help but believe them.

The hardest thing in life may be to learn to truly trust that there is something noble and generative in ourselves. This is a greater sense of the notion of believing in our self; to truly believe in oneself means to uncover the inner core of imagination and authenticity that can also be called the genius within us. When we connect to the inner resident of the soul, we also learn how we are woven to the Soul of the World.

Although I'm an atheist, I try not to crap all over people's belief in God. It may be nothing more than a placebo, a fairy tale that gives the hopeless hope, but sometimes a little hope is all people need to get through the day. Imagine a unit of soldiers under heavy enemy fire. They are told by their superiors to hold their position, even in the face of overwhelming fire power. The soldiers are being told that reinforcements are on the way, and that thought alone gives them the hope and courage to continue fighting, even if ultimately the reinforcements never arrive. I think some people simply need to believe that God is sending them reinforcements, to get through another day.

There is no such thing as predestined. Human destiny in the human world is determined by none but the humans.

Daily prayer, daily grace.
