“ ...one of the best ways to take the pain out of past experiences is to replace the hurt with gratitude. ”
Believe me, the loss of hope is far worse than the loss of limbs.
~ Nick Vujicic
Without trust in the possibilities for your life, where would you be? Where would any of us be? Our hopes for the future give us momentum.
None of us can accomplish our dreams without the help of others. Is it more important for you to feel superior and self-sufficient than to accomplish your dreams within a community of supporters?
...you have to keep things in perspective, even when you are in the middle if a personal crisis. Fear breeds fear and worry builds upon worry. You can't stop feelings of grief, remorse, guilt, anger, and fear that wash over you during difficult times, but you can recognize them as pure emotional responses, and then manage them so that they don't dictate your actions.
