---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"Gratitude and faith remain mere abstractions if we just pay them lip service or keep them in our hearts without expressing them. Only when they are put into action, into practice, do they produce real value and come to life. A powerful wish fosters the determination to actualise that wish, rouses the courage to fear no difficulties, and brings forth the wisdom to change reality."
