Enlightened: A Dominican friar prays in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament in Blackfriars church, Oxford.

Your life is something opaque, not transparent, as long as you look at it in an ordinary human way. But if you hold it up against the light of God's goodness, it shines and turns transparent, radiant and bright. And then you ask yourself in amazement: Is this really my own life I see before me? ~ Albert Schweitzer

You have to believe in yourself when no one else does. That's what makes you a winner. -Venus Williams

This is by far one of my favorite quotes. So many people in my life have not believed in me and communicated their judgment and disbelief to me in one way or another.

This quote inspires me to disregard hurtful words and actions and instead cultivate a steadfast belief in the truth - I'm holding on and doing the best that I can do despite failures and obstacles. We have to be our most steadfast advocate and realize that in the end, it doesn't matter if anyone else believes in us or not.

The first requisite of success is the ability to apply your physical and mental energies to one problem without growing weary. - Thomas Edison

noreply@blogger.com (Jannifer) — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 10:59:00 +0000

I think the key here is to apply physical and mental energies to only one problem at a time rather than worrying about a multiple of problems, which drains energy.

Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. ~Anne Lamott

noreply@blogger.com (Jannifer) — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 05:31:00 +0000

This is exactly where I'm at right now - in the dark, trying my best to do the right thing. I hope and pray the dawn will come soon.

Hope is that thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops... at all. ~Emily Dickinson

noreply@blogger.com (Jannifer) — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 04:46:00 +0000

I've been going through extremely stressful crisis situations with my teenage sons lately. Just in the last few days I've gotten to a point where I'm absolutely at the end of my rope. Void of any energy to continue on. I'm still hanging on by a thread.

Hope is that thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops... at all. ~Emily Dickinson

This quote reminds me that hope won't give up on me and will surely soothe my soul when the path looks bleak and if I can just hang on, I might survive my sons' teenage years.

Once you choose hope, anything's possible. ~Christopher Reeve

This expression is particularly meaningful to me today. When everything is going wrong and seems absolutely hopeless, I need to choose a path of hope.

I suppose this means that most people are astonished when they see people do the right thing?
