     | 3,369 views

    The only pit we are stuck in is the one we don't recognize the hand of God reaching towards us.

     | 3,941 views

    Positive thinking does not mean, if you always think positive nothing will ever go wrong. That is wishful thinking, and it won't work. Positive thinking is telling yourself that even when things do go wrong, that is never the last word.
