REASON IS NOT EVERYTHING

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.
