Notes

Courage is not the absence of fear, it is acting in spite of fear.

Trust is not the absence of doubt.

Faith does not banish fear or doubt, it banishes paralysis. Faith gives us the strength to act despite the fear and doubt.

If we are to make it through we must trust. Not blind trust which leads us to deceive ourselves, but considered trust which choses to risk getting hurt because it opens up the possibility of joy.

If we are to make it through we must believe in ourselves and in each other.

If I am to make it through I must put trust and faith in god. I must hand to him my fears and doubts, then trust that he will banish them.

    You get my daily need for deep, meaningful thought and insight out of the way, so I may commence directly with the stupidity…
