Comfort on difficult days,
Smiles when sadness intrudes,
Rainbows to follow the clouds,
Laughter to kiss your lips,
Sunsets to warm your heart,
Hugs when spirits sag,
Beauty for your eyes to see,
Friendships to brighten your being,
Faith so that you can believe,
Confidence for when you doubt,
Courage to know yourself,
Patience to accept the truth,
Love to complete your life.

The antidotes for worry are gratitude, action, service, and faith.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Once you have seen the truth
you must make the decision to let go
of the pain, anger, and resentment you have been holding on to.
This requires you to take action.
If you are attached to your pain, resentment,
and self-righteousness, and addicted to your emotional reactions,
this will be a difficult step for you.
Taking action requires letting go of the very thing
you have been holding on to for so many years.
There is comfort in what we find familiar,
even if we are experiencing pain and suffering.
The pain and suffering itself becomes the familiarity we seek.
It takes absolute faith in yourself
plus courage, will, and discipline to let go.
But once you let go, it will be as if
the weight of the world has been taken off your shoulders.
In this process it is important to forgive
not just the others in our lives, but also ourselves.
For most people, giving ourselves
the gift of forgiveness is very challenging.
- Sheri Rosenthal

The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference.
The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference.

And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.

And a living faith will last
in the midst of the blackest storm.

Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty,
the ocean does not become dirty.

On life's journey, faith is nourishment,
virtuous deeds are a shelter,

If I could tell the world just one thing
it would be we're all okay,

I won't be idle with despair,
I will gather myself around my faith.
Light does the darkness most fear.
- Jewel

The present is the ever moving shadow

and experience physical and emotional suffering
in ourselves, our family, and our friends.
I consider this belief in God's infinite power
and ultimate wisdom to be the true test of faith.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

you can't or shouldn't go on.

It's easy to have faith in yourself and have discipline
when you're a winner, when you're number one.

when you're not yet a winner.

In our troubled world so full of contradictions,
the wise person makes justice his guide and learns from all.
