Whatever happens in your life, no matter how troubling things might seem, do not enter the neighbourhood of despair. Even when all doors remain closed, God wil open up a new path only for you.

Imagination is at once the source of all hope and inspiration but also of frustration. To forget this is to court despair. ↗
