“For God to prove himself on demand, physically, would be a grave disappointment, and the strongest Christians should be considerably grateful that he chooses not to do so. The skeptic endlessly demands proof, yet God refuses to insult the true intelligence of man, the '6th sense', the chief quality, the acumen which distinguishes man from the rest of creation, faith.” MenShouldWould BeChristianQualityCreationDemandProveGratefulAtheistDisappointmentRefuseProofGravesChiefsInsultStrongestSkepticAcumenTrue Intelligence Book:Killosophy Source: Killosophy

“Well, it might have been if I'd had success earlier in life, but having success that much later meant I was far more grounded when it came. The last few years of my life have just been surreal and after a lifetime of disappointment and heartache and rejection, I still don't believe this is all actually happening. I'm extremely grateful for my success - I just never expect it to last and my motto, if I have one, is just put your head down and do the job.” IfsYearsBelieveWellsHas BeensStillsMightJobsLastsHappeningsDown AndGratefulLifetimeDon't BelieveDisappointmentHeartacheRejectionGroundedMottoMight Have BeenSurrealMy MottoNever Expect Author:Steve Carell

“[Every disappointment or misfortune can become a blessing in disguise, for which we should be grateful. But only if the hidden blessing is anticipated, expected and searched for will it be found and recognised as such and the most made of it.

“Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without. It can be argued that peace and happiness comes from the subjective internalised perspective of realizing things could be worse and being grateful they aren't. The alternative view that peace and happiness comes from the objective external perspective of having more and better things than at present, while important for growth, can be a never-ending source of jealousy, dissatisfaction and disappointment. A balance of the two, where people are grateful for what they have while striving for more seems the best blended perspective.” PeopleTwoImportantSeemsGrowthRealizingViewsSourcePerspectiveBalanceGratitudeGratefulStriveDisappointmentObjectivesAlternativesBe GratefulSubjectiveDissatisfactionNever EndingPeace And Happiness Author:Gautama Buddha
