---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"'I think,' said Marie Curie, 'that one can have an interesting and useful life at any age. What is necessary is not to waste it and to be able to say, [I did what I could.]' Everyone, regardless of the times in which they live, has a unique mission that only they can fulfil. There's no need to become someone extraordinary. There's no need to be famous or live out your life in the spotlight. Ordinary is perfectly fine. Just shine in the way that is true to yourself. The important thing is to be able to say you have done all that you could.
"When things are going smoothly, it's often difficult for us to bring forth our true power and potential. But facing adversity head-on enables us to tap the hidden reserves of our real strength. It is through valiantly challenging our hardships that we can realise our greatest dreams and highest ideals."

"Whether or not your prayer is answered will depend on your faith; [if it is not] I will in no way be to blame."
