Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact. The deepest principle in human nature is the craving to be appreciated. It is well for the world that in most of us, by the age of thirty, the character has been set like plaster, and will never soften again. The great use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it. He who refuses to embrace a unique opportunity loses the prize as surely as if he had failed. Many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices. These then are my last words to you. Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact. Acceptance of what has happened is the first step to overcoming the consequences of any misfortune. Need and struggle are what excite and inspire us. The sovereign cure for worry is prayer. |
