Why do you believe in God?" the woman asked me in the busy corridor. I don't remember the answer I gave. It was probably too long and rattled in her ears. I wish I could go back and answer her again. "Because HE believes in me," I would say. Isn't that enough? ↗

You never know how much you really believe anything until its truth or falsehood becomes a matter of life and death to you. It is easy to say you believe a rope to be strong and sound as long as you are merely using it to cord a box. But suppose you had to hang by that rope over a precipice. Wouldn't you then first discover how much you really trusted it?...Only a real risk tests the reality of a belief. ↗

When spontaneous demoralizing thoughts seep into your conscience, don't trip...allowing them to fester. These are random tests of your conviction and determination. Large or small, your reaction to such intrusions is a defining moment for which no one else, but you, can mitigate. ↗

Once upon a time there were succesful people who made it so far by acting upon their dreams and then they believed and act on them. Once upon a time called "Now" what makes you believe you that you cannot be as great as they are and were? - Clarify it in your mind. You must DREAM, BELIEVE, and ACT. " - Alba Avila ↗

If superstition could contradict science, the world may as well be on the back of a turtle. But giving into turtle worship was a bridge too far. ↗

I am running in God's speed. The Almighty trusts me to rule the world on my own, even He speed up or slow down the things, because all I know is just running as fast as I can to catch up my dreams; the gifts that He prepared for me :) ↗

Nationalism is form of collective narcissism, where the citizens possess an inflated self-love of "their own people," to the exclusion of other human beings. ↗
