I ask not for a lighter burden, but for broader shoulders. Nothing I accept about myself can be used against me to diminish me. In the middle of a difficulty lies opportunity. Jackson Brown, Jr.īelieve you can and you’re halfway there. Let perseverance be your engine and hope your fuel. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement. Next to trying and winning, the best thing is trying and failing. The difference between stumbling blocks and stepping stones is how you use them. Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.

And don’t pray when it rains if you don’t pray when the sun shines. We should always pray for help, but we should always listen for inspiration and impression to proceed in ways different from those we may have thought of.

There is no point in being angry with it and there is no need to worry about defeating it. The caterpillar is a necessary stage but becomes unsustainable once its job is done. Then the caterpillar's immune system fails and its body dissolves into a nutritive soup which the new cells recycle into their developing butterfly. The caterpillar's immune system fights these new cells as though they were foreign intruders, and only when they crop up in greater numbers and link themselves together are they strong enough to survive. When they finally fall asleep and a chrysalis forms around them, tiny new imaginal cells, as biologists call them, begin to take form within their bodies. Caterpillars chew their way through ecosystems leaving a path of destruction as they get fatter and fatter.
