Lessons

 
Every now and then, challenging situations come along. These challenges come to test our competence, resilience and confidence. Sometimes these tests of life are fun, almost like a trivia quiz, and sometimes they're scary, like a final exam. But rarely do these tests come announced. So maybe the best way to prepare for the tests of life is to keep expanding our competence, resilience and confidence. 

When the tests of life come, just do your best and remember:
- You never fail because you always gain lessons and experience.
- Tests in life do not come to shake you but to make you.

Acts of virtue emerge from deep within, from an inner sanctuary of silence from which inspiration flows. Every action has its seed in a thought and every thought is a creation of the thinker, the soul. I choose what thoughts I want to create and as is my thinking so are my actions and also my experience in life. Going within, I touch the stillness and pure love that lie at the core of my being and every thought that I create is of benefit to myself and of benefit to humanity.
