Don't let the workings of adversity totally absorb your life. try to understand what you can. act where you are able; then let the matter rest with the lord for a period while you give to others in worthy ways before you take on appropriate concern again. please learn that as you wrestle with a challenge and feel sadness because of it, you can simultaneously have peace and rejoicing.

The trials and pressures of life--and how we face them--often define us. confronted by adversity, many people give up while others rise up. how do those who succeed do it? they persevere. they find the benefit to them personally that comes from any trial. and they recognize that the best thing about adversity is coming out on the other side of it. there is a sweetness to overcoming your troubles and finding something good in the process, however small it may be. giving up when adversity threatens can make a person bitter. persevering through adversity makes one better.

We can work on inner peace and world peace at the same time. on one hand, people have found inner peace by losing themselves in a cause larger than themselves, like the cause of world peace, because finding inner peace means coming from the self-centered life into the life centered in the good of the whole. on the other hand, one of the ways of working for world peace is to work for more inner peace, because world peace will never be stable until enough of us find inner peace to stabilize it.

There's a wonderful old italian joke about a poor man who goes to church every day and prays before the statue of a great saint,'dear saint-please, please, please...give me the grace to win the lottery.' this lament goes on for months. finally the exasperated statue come to life, looks down at the begging man and says in weary disgust,'my son-please, please, please...buy a ticket.

Let others lead small lives, but not you. let others argue over small things, let them complain over what might have been, but not you. let others cry over small hurts, let them be discouraged, let them be revengeful and vindictive, but not you. let others leave their future in someone else's hands, let them become materialistic and empty, but not you. let others become ungrateful and stop praying, but not you! let others give up, but not you! for you know in whom you believe and you know that he is always able. now, that's you!
