Faith Over fear

Do you lack faith in yourself, despite the preparation and learning you've undergone? Do you doubt the guidance of a higher power, despite believing in a divine plan? It's time to awaken from the nightmares your mind conjures of improbable outcomes. This self-torture serves no purpose; instead, ground yourself in the present and have faith in your abilities and in the divine plan laid out for you.

Thomas Jefferson wisely observed, "How much pain have cost us the evils which have never happened!" Indeed, many of our fears never materialize, as Seneca reminds us: "There is nothing so certain in our fears that is not yet more certain in the fact that most of what we dread comes to nothing."

In the words of Malachi, "Guard yourself in spirit, and do not break faith." Trust in yourself, in your preparations, and in the guidance of a higher power. Embrace the present moment, free from the burden of unfounded fears, and move forward with confidence and faith.
