Make good and effective use of reason, but don't let it be the only thing that informs you. Some of the most beautiful and valuable aspects of life have little basis in reason.
Love does not adhere to reason, and yet it is real.People regularly act on faith, wholly apart from reason, and create value in doing so. You know much more than you can prove. Let your amazing ability to reason move you forward, but don't let it put limits on how far you can go.
Pay attention to the reasons,and pay attention also to how you feel. You are more than a set of logically determined options. Even when every reason argues against it, HOPE is never lost. For the power of hope, power of authentic desires and power of dreams cannot be limited by reason.
There is a reason for everything and yet reason is not everything. Go joyfully forward, now and always, whether there is a reason to or not.

IT'S IN EVERYONE
"I can't do that, I'm not that good", "I can't achieve anything, I'm not that persistent", "I can't pass the exam, I'm not that intelligent", "I can't win the competition, I'm not that beautiful", I can't, I can't, I can't... the list is endless.
Most times, we don't believe in the power invested in us, we don't believe in our abilities/ capabilities, we end up saying "Who am I to be this beautiful, intelligent, etc?" Actually, who are you not to be? You are a unique being created by the ALMIGHTY. You are fearfully and wonderfully made, you are different from the next person. God has created you with many unique features among which are: YOUR BRAIN, YOUR MIND. In fact you are so unique that you don't share the same finger print with any other person. You need to appreciate and understand and your uniqueness and utilize your abilities effectively. You are a flexible being, embrace change, Do the impossible, Fear nothing, Leave your comfort zone, have a CANDO attitude, and above all BELIEVE IN YOURSELF and NEVER DOUBT YOUR CAPABILITIES. I leave you with this poem...
OUR DEEPEST FEAR
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that frightens us.
We ask our selves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually.who are you not to be? You are a child of GOD.
Your playing small, does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine. as children do. We were meant to make manifest, the glory of GOD within us.
It's not just in some of us, It's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

it begins with the mind
No matter how far you've fallen behind, you can choose at any point to start moving forward. Even though nothing else may be going your way, you can decide to get your thoughts and actions going your way. do not let your thoughts control or rule over you, instead you should be able to have control over your thoughts and direct your mind towards positive thinking. Success is a function of your direction and persistence, not your starting point. Success is also a function of your mindset. The mindset is a mental attitude developed over time as a result of one's education, life experience and the people you communicate with regularly. If you have a positive mindset, irrespective of the situation you are in, you'll always find a way out. Someone with a positive mindset is optimistic, a problem solver.A person with a positive mindset sees the cup as half FULL not half EMPTY. He doesnt blame anyone for his failures. He develops INSPIRATIONAL DISSATISFACTION and sees opportunities in every problem. When you have a positive mindset you believe in yourself and your capabilities, you develop SELF CONFIDENCE and with that everything is possible. With a positive mindset and the will and determination to succeed, the sky is just the starting point.

A FULL TIME THING
If you quit before the work is completed, the work you've done is wasted. Honor the time and effort you've already put into it by finishing what you started.
If you plant a seed, and water it just for a few days, and then stop, you might as well have never planted it. Remember to direct your focus again and again toward those things you're committed to completing. Being inspired for a few minutes or for a day or two feels good. Being inspired for a lifetime is what actually achieves good and valuable results.
Remind yourself what a truly extraordinary opportunity you have by virtue of being you. Then remind yourself again, and again, on every day, in each new situation.
Feel the exquisite joy and purposeful power of being alive. Then commit yourself to staying connected to that feeling.
Don't settle for just a few moments here and there of brilliance and inspiration and true richness. Make life's richness a full-time thing.
