"Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers,
but to be fearless in facing them."
Rabindranath Tagore
"You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, "I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along ....... You must do the thing you think you cannot do."
Eleanor Roosevelt
"I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection."

Change has an Angel
The word "change" contains "ange".
In French, "Ange" means Angel.
Let's not be too troubled, then, about any changes we want to - or have to - make in our lives.
The Angel of change will be looking after us.

Effort = "of fort"
"Effort" contains in it the word "fort".
We can think of "effort" as "of fort".
Let's each one of us make an effort to build a fort.
A fort, especially inside the heart, inside the soul, where we can guard and grow our passions, dreams, good thoughts and deeds, and keep those treasures safe, against all intrusions, against all onslaughts.

See with the heart

Be kind to be calm
Be kind -- to have a calm life. A calm, spiritually meaningful life. The only type of true, real, life that there is.
Plus, kindness -- kindness in thoughts, words, deeds -- compassion to others, and compassion to ourselves -- will give us inner peace. An inner oasis. No matter what our outer circumstances are. No matter what obstacles we have to battle. This is what I've come to believe in, more and more, as I continue on my journey.
