"Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men. Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks. Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle, but you shall be the miracle."
-- Phillips Brooks, 1835–1893

ReplyDeletedon't be afraid willie...im right there behind u:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great quote!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard, but do like the car in your drawing and turn the corner, go around the bend, get over the hump. You don't have to stop being afraid, just don't let that fear control you.
Great quote and image!
ReplyDeletefear is a matter of perspective... don't lose it.

What a timely quote. I forwarded it to my man, who is about to start a new job that he's not sure he's up to. Thanks!~
ReplyDeletevery timely, indeed...my brother has less than a week left of a job he's been doing for over 12 years, and is about to open his own pastry shop; i'll forward on the quote. thanks!
ReplyDeleteAmen to that quote, Willie!!
ReplyDeleteI try every day not to be afraid, to get out there and be accepting of all that life has to dish up for me.
In the end, the fear itself of bad things or pain or rejection is much more paralyzing than the actual happenings themselves...
I pray for a Cincinnati Reds World Series Victory & a Cincinnati Bengals Super Bowl Win. Now THAT would be a miracle... ;)
