“STOP AND THINK” It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that things are difficult. (Seneca, 1st century Roman stoic philosopher)

This simple principle has no doubt been illustrated in most of our lives. It has been shown to be true, also, in the larger affairs of society. Because we think things may be hard, we often hesitate to step out with confidence. Yet, it’s that very hesitation that often makes life more complicated. We must face life with courage and daring.

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified… for the Lord your God goes with you. (Deuteronomy 31:6)
