Hope When You Feel Lost


Feeling lost is not a sin. Most people never feel lost. What is important is not subject to your feelings. By deciding to continue with your life regardless of your feelings, you do not feel too lost as before.

How to strengthen your expectations when it was lost?

1. Do not leave your life of prayer
By the time you feel defeated, you will lose the power struggle. All the power you sucked into the sense of losing it. Even feel less gets you away from the LORD God. You do not like to pray. You lose your appetite to read the word of God. You isolate yourself from life.

When you feel lost, do not leave your prayer altar. Rebuild your expectations through prayer. Defeat feeling defeated by prayer. When you pray, then there is power in prayer. Prayer strengthens your faith and hope in God. And remember that hope to God it never disappoints.


2. Take care of your heart
The writer of Proverbs says: "Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life" - Proverbs 4:23.

Heart is the center of thought, feeling and will. When we feel defeated, then our hearts will be affected. And if the liver has been affected by the negative things, then our lives would no longer stable. Turmoil happening in our lives. Therefore, to strengthen our hope, then that should be done is that we guard our hearts. That way, our lives will be re-excited. Our hope shining again. And we are winning.


3. God will meet your needs
The Apostle Paul wrote: "But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus" - Philippians 4:19.

Lord God is our Creator. As a creator, he is able fully to life and our future. He knows us perfectly. He knows exactly what we are feeling.
When we feel defeated, God knows it. God's understanding and patience. He was ready to help. He is waiting for us to turn to Him in prayer, Bible reading and meditation.

God is our hope when we feel lost. God is the source of our hope. Believe him earnestly. Cried out to God, He will give us what we need.

Hope the Not Disappointing


"If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are the ones to be pitied more than all men" - 1 Corinthians 15:19. The Apostle Paul in his letter to the church at Corinth provide specific explanation of something very important that is awakening. There are three important topics of the apostle Paul to the Corinthians in chapter 15, which is about the resurrection of Christ, the resurrection and the resurrection of the body. The Apostle Paul wanted to clarify that there is hope beyond death. Many people think that death is the end of everything. No more hope beyond death. And the Christians in Corinth affected by such a paradigm. Paul insists that hope to Christ not only in life on this earth alone. However, hope in Christ through the world of the dead though. Therefore, Paul is saying that if we only looked forward to Christ merely living in this world, then it makes us people most unfortunate fate. Paul invites us to view the future with great hope. And hope to Christ is a definite expectation. Hope that can not be limited by this world even by death though. Our hope in Christ must transcend territorial boundaries. Paul wanted to show us that our hope in Christ is a hope that does not disappoint. Why? Since Christ is the firstborn of our resurrection. And we who believe in Him will live or rise even though we're dead. This has been our hope. The resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, ensuring our hope that we too will rise up and come together with Christ in the kingdom of heaven.

5 Ways to Motivate Yourself When Fails


At the time a person experiences a failure in the process of life, usually motivated him to be dropped. There's even a loss of motivation at all. Of course this kind of attitude is less wise. Because the actual failure is not the end of everything.

The important question to ask is how to motivate yourself when a failure? Here are 5 ways to motivate yourself when it fails:

1. Consider your expectations
Usually when it fails, hopes to be lost due to failures. Therefore, to re-ignite your motivation, consider your expectations. By the time you come back to see your expectations are pending, then it is a source of energy to revive your motivation to achieve it.

2. Try something different
Failure in principle always be our way of life. When you experience a failure in something that is done, try to do it in a different way. A different way is needed to replace the old ways of working. Lanhkah first failed, but try again the second step, if it fails again, try step three and so on up to ten steps in which you can succeed.

Trying a different way, signifies that you are motivating yourself to rise from failure. With that kind of attitude, and you will reap the sweet fruit that way.

3. Use your power
When a person has failed deadlocked, strength also sucked. As a result, the person becomes weak, sluggish, tired, lethargic and demotivated.

Therefore, use the skills you have. Use the power of your best. Then learn to overcome your weaknesses and shortcomings. Encourage yourself that you can definitely bounce back.

4. Learn to get back up
No matter how many times you fail and fall. Build your motivation back and start doing again what delayed by failure.

Paul Meyer said, "Ninety percent of all people who fail have not actually lost. They just give up". Failure does not mean we've lost. But often we give up before we lose. We do not want to get back up that is the problem.

J. I. Packer said: "One second victory of the unconscious makes one feel that after this there is nothing that really means, while a second disaster that makes one feel aware that this is the end of everything. However, none of these events is not realistic because the None of the events that actually felt like it ".

5. Look to the Lord God
When it failed, does not mean that the Lord God has forsaken you. He is the Lord God who cares And. In any circumstance, God is always ready to help you.

When our hands, God intervened to assist and help us. He will give us the strength to bounce back.
With regard to the Lord God, we are spiritually motivating for support LORD God that we can rise again.

Living Hope In Central Scrimmage



Read: Genesis 5:25-6:8
Noah was a prominent biblical incredible. His name means "rest." Noah is the son of Lamech. He was the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth. It was he who built the ark, which ultimately saved his entire family from destruction by God the world through the flood.
In today's passage, we find the name of Noah for the first time. When his parents gave the name of Noah, they have hope that his future will be more personal blessing of his generation, which "will provide encouragement in our work painstakingly filled in the land that has been cursed by God '. From this statement, contained two important messages or expectations of Lamech. First, Lamech complaints against the terrible condition of all mankind. With the entrance of sin and the curse that followed, the condition of the human race into a horrible nightmare. Our lives are in bondage, so the whole time there was filled with continuous hard work. Because God has cursed the earth, every human being must feel sick and tired exhaust to commercialize the earth. Second, there is new hope for the birth of his son, which "will provide comfort in our work." Hope is not just a hope or dream that is owned by the parents of the children, but the ability to capture and expecting something more. Lamech have hopes that one day his son would be the answer to the generation of his day. Amid harsh and difficult living conditions, Lamech Noah hopes on his son.
Then to whom shall we, who live in these days, should anchor our hope? To whom do we expect consolation in our work that this painstaking? Only in Jesus. He said, "Come unto me all the weary and heavy laden, I will give you rest."

Hope in the Middle of Suffering


"If you lose heart at the time of distress, kecillah strength"
Proverbs 24:10

When we believe in Jesus and confess Him as Lord and Savior of his life, this does not mean that we will not encounter any problems. That does not mean also that we are free from the problem and we'll instantly blessed with abundance both in the family, job, business, business, education, environment and others.

Just when we decide to follow Jesus, the devil will try to pull us back to fall into sin, because he does not like the decisions we take. Various issues will still come hit our lives endlessly as long as we are still breathing.
Often we also give up on problems that are befalling us. We hope that God's immediate help and provide solutions to the problems we face. In fact, God's answer does not come too, so we become discouraged. We do not know that God was testing and processing of our lives so that we can truly trust and surrender to God with all our hearts.

Sense of discouragement is often followed by feelings of disappointment with the conditions of our lives, and even some are disappointed to God, to not go to church anymore. This condition will make us weaker and did not have the strength to be able to move forward to face the problem.

"Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary affliction is for us an eternal glory that more than anything else, is much greater than our suffering" 2 Corinthians 4:16-17.

The Apostle Paul in his suffering he experienced so much, also keep her in order not to lose heart. Though outwardly he was getting weaker, but stronger spiritual man in the Lord. He knew that what God has for him is far greater than what he experienced. This is the power that enables Paul to remain faithful to the Lord until the end of his escort.

Certainty in Hope In Jesus Christ



God of creation in the work of rescue and deliver believers from a historical point to a new point in history. The coming of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior into the world and guarantees a sure hope for those who believe.

Jesus Christ is God who became the center of worship, and the hope of humanity from age to age, and he also hopes other creatures, because He is the One who will bring a new heaven and a new earth in which suffering and death will be no more - without him the world does not have hope.

In Jesus, hope it would. God knows the world more clearly than anyone else. With him, there was certainty. All we need to do just one, that believe. People who are hopeless because they refused to believe and lay a pattern of thinking that there is no hope. And if they want to start changing your thinking and want to believe it, then we started in line with God.

What is important is to believe what Jesus says about who we are and what our circumstances, are recorded in the Bible. Jesus said that He loves us, and in him there is a future full of hope. Remember and believe in His Word, because God never lied let alone deny his own words. Never brothers on feelings. Hope is a decision that is sometimes the opposite of what we say.

Is that so you need these days, whether it be financial, work, healing or strength. Bring to Jesus right now, trust, and experience do you possess that hope was not in vain. From now on, do not delay! Without hope, the believer does not have a key to enter and experience the promises of God. If we dare to hope, that we dare to accept the promise of God's most spectacular ones. Do we put hope in people. Hoping to humans only invites disappointment.

People who are hopeful will always be full of joy, peace and a heart full of gratitude, not a grim face and grouchy. One that makes hope seem difficult since humans began to see from their own glasses. There will be two options, the first he could slowly lose hope, the second he started arrogant.

Pray this "I believe in you Jesus there is hope! Hope I just was in you. Strong and I'll be waiting for you God. Thanks for this expectation!"

What practical steps? Having believed that hope is real, act and speak like a hopeless katalah. Do not complain and say the problem continues every day. Replace with thanksgiving and blessing and positive words. Every time you attack the human mind with despair, immediately reject it and declare that expectation. Prove that hope is real.

What verses can be held: Isaiah 40: 31 "But those who wait for the LORD gain new powers: their rise is like a flying eagle wings power, they run and do not become sluggish, they walk and not become weary. Romans 8 : 24b, 25 "For how people still hope for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait patiently. "Romans 12: 12" Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, and persevering in prayer! "Psalm 37:4-5" Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your life to the Lord and trust in Him, and He will act, Romans 15: 13 "The God of hope, satisfy you with all joy and peace in your faith, so that by the power of the Holy Ghost ye abound in hope"

Hope is not knowledge, but rather, eternal belief that God will fulfill His promises to us. it's the belief that if we live according to the laws of God and the words of His prophets now, we will receive the blessings that are expected in the future. It is believing and expecting that our prayers will be answered. It was revealed in confidence, optimism, enthusiasm, patience and endurance. In the language of the Gospel, the hope is for sure, do not flinch, and active. The prophets of old speak of "firm hope" and "living hope. It is the hope of glory to God through the work of goodness. With hope comes joy and happiness. Hopefully, we can" have patience, and bear ... our misery. "

Jesus Christ came to earth as the Savior of men. He died on the cross, for the sake of all mankind who will put his hope in Him. Jesus not only died on the cross on the hill of Golgotha, but Jesus had risen from the grave and ascended into heaven. That is why to this day, and for ever in fact he is still alive. The Lord Jesus promised an expectation. Anyone who believes in Him will get salvation. Come on, do not wait, run, catch, and try hard to achieve that expectation.

The Right Attitude of Suffering

World we live in a cruel place to live. Suffering seemed constantly plagued our lives. Almost in all areas of life and level of complex problems. All the people around us are people who are struggling to understand the meaning of suffering in life. So how should we develop the attitude that the face of suffering in this life?

1. Accept suffering as a fact of life
Almost all over the world many people end their lives by committing suicide. And not a single human being under heaven who does not suffer. So many stories of depression, rejection, a disease that brings death, miscarriage, loss, natural disasters, wars and many other hardships.

On a larger scale, the picture looks even more bleak. Hardly a day goes by without a tragedy. Floods and earthquakes, suicide, accidents, murder, robbery, corruption, hunger, the threat of cancer. The list is unlikely to end the suffering.

But we must not sink into the abyss of despair and give up, ignore everything we know about God and forget about the nature of His mercy and goodness. If we do that, then we have lost the privilege we as followers of Christ.

A better approach is to recognize our wounds in the presence of God and chose him in the middle of it all. God welcomes the fact that there are situations and conditions. It requires diligence, persistence, where every day we decided to choose the way of God in the suffering of our struggle.

Therefore, as Christians, we must accept suffering as a fact of life. And always remember the love, loyalty, generosity, kindness and grace of God that is always available to us.

2. Wake up thankful attitude to life
The Apostle Paul writes: "give thanks in all things, because it was God in Christ Jesus for you" - 1 Thessalonians 5:18.
Although it was obvious we would never celebrate the suffering for the sake of suffering, from the biblical picture and description of our own lives, we begin to realize that in times of severe suffering, God is always closer and work harder than what we know.

It gives a whole new enlightenment in our thinking about the test of life. If we want to be a follower of Jesus Christ, tested and mature in the faith, then wake up the attitude of heart that always give thanks in all circumstances and conditions of our lives.

That attitude is appropriate and deemed worthy by God to do. James insists the author thus: "My brothers, consider it all joy when ye fall into various trials, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. And let's get persistence of ripe fruit, that ye may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing "- James 1:2-4.

There are important principles are maintained if we are to persevere. Often our suffering land will be fertile soil for future fruitful. The sooner we realize this principle at work in many situations, the less pain is felt. If we can see that we will reap a harvest, we will have a greater readiness to sow in tears.

Hope in Loneliness

"... I will never leave you and I will never forsake you" - Hebrews 13:5.
Have you ever felt as if I'm standing alone? You feel isolated, even if you are surrounded by many people? There is a void in your heart, as if there is something missing?
The good news is that feeling of loneliness is not inevitable, and it's not the end of everything. God can help you through your loneliness feelings. We do not need to be controlled by our feelings, but by God's word is reliable.
Jesus knew loneliness you feel. He often felt left alone when he lived on earth. He would miss the human touch when no one is thinking of his needs. Even his family was sometimes considered him strange. And when he needed his friends around him, even to his followers-12 most setiapun not always accompany him.
Moses must have felt very lonely, when living in the wilderness for forty years, with only accompanied by his sheep. But God uses those times it's lonely to talk to him from a burning bush. Forty years to prepare Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egyptian slavery.
We can thank God because He knows and understands our needs and He cares. Really helped, knowing that He, the Almighty knows and cares about any weaknesses and our need to feel close to someone who understands us. One of us a priceless privilege is knowing that God is near, even when we do not feel His presence.
His eyes are always drawn to us, to protect and care for us. Everything that happens to us, there's meaning. Let us not be dominated by concerns about our feelings of loneliness. Jack Hayford says, "There are people who feel that the 'fly alone' that can bring in abundance rather than loneliness."But how we can, the handle of our lives, we all need other people. That's why God has set the solitude of his preformance spiritual family to help us to grow together and to rebuild. Growth and our healing depends on it." 
However, we are never really alone, though no one sahabatpun near us. We know that God's word is true, and we need to feel the truth, that God is always gracious and merciful, and His peace beyond our understanding. This has been our hope. Feeling lonely in the middle that hit our lives, hope to God to give strength and comfort to our souls.
God says to us, when He said to David concerning himself: "For He protects me in his cabin, at the time of danger; He hid me in hiding in his tent, He drew me to the rock" - Psalm 27 : 5. The statement gives a certain hope for each of us. Promises of protection and care of God is what gives us the ability to keep hope alive in our lives. God of our hope and He never let us down is hopeless to him.

Hope for Your Heart

We would be very easy to lose hope when we are too much attention to the news in newspapers and on television. On the other hand, we can easily lose hope when we live and hang out with people who are experiencing distress in their hearts. More than that, we can also lose hope when we are experiencing difficult circumstances in life. In such circumstances, we should focus only to God, who gives us a certain hope. Because without hope in God, we can not possibly survive.
Dr. Charles Stanley says, "Feelings of hopelessness is one of the worst feelings we can experience. Usually these feelings arise as a result of our eyes off Christ and set our views to our circumstances, or refuse to give him free access to some areas of our lives." Nineteenth-century hymn writer, Edward Mote, knowing that God is our hope as well as the mountains of stone. He indicated his belief that when he wrote "The Solid Rock". Let us first read his poems.
My hope is built on the foundation of no less than Jesus blood and righteousness;
I do not dare trust the most manispun frame, But wholly lean on the name of Jesus.
On Christ, the rock, I stand;
More land was mud all over the sand;
More land was mud all over the sand.
 

David the psalmist knows that God is the anchor, the source of my expectations. He writes, "Out of my soul pants for safety than you, I hope to thy word" - Psalm 119:81. 
Someone once said, "Faith means to trust God when all human reason of the hope has vanished."
Peter said, "and always be ready to give an answer pertanggungngan to every person who asks you a reason concerning the hope that is in you" - 1 Peter 3:15.

Our hope lies in our belief that Jesus died for us. And when we accept His salvation, He declares us righteous. We can have hope because we know that God is always with us and work in our lives, turning us into the likeness of his Son. The apostle Paul assures us of that when he wrote, "He who began a good work in you will perform it until the day of Christ Jesus" - Philippians 1:6. 
When writing about the topic "Choose Hope", Morton Kelsey said that he would never forget what happened to him when he suffered a severe crisis. "I am very worried. Suddenly I realized that having hope it is just as easy to get scared. When I change my fear into hope, almost immediately a new life surging within me, accompanying me through this crisis with peace and strength larger, if not with joy. the terburukpun finally came to pass, but I was able to survive to get through safely."

Means that faith is the key to bring the miracles and blessings of God are powerful in our lives. Thus, our faith can overcome any challenge and defeat all the bids, persuasion and temptation-world dogaan misleading. Criteria for the faith that overcomes the world are:
  1. Faith is realizing that God is in charge of our lives. Abraham did not know the circumstances, conditions, and the ins and outs of the land promised by God. But Abraham remained faithful to God. This is due to Abraham realized that God must be responsible for the lives and the whole family. If so, God would also be responsible for all of our lives, so we must continue to believe and obey God.

Three Areas of Life that Needs to be Changed

Almost every second change is always happening. These changes are difficult to predict. Because we can not change the prediction, then we must be prepared to deal with it. Our readiness to deal with changes determines our attitude in dealing with change. How to deal with it? There are three things we need to do, namely:
  1. Change the way we think. The first battle to cope with change is in our minds. We process all the changes in our minds. After we process it, then we will respond to such changes. Our responses vary according to what is in our minds. First, we were able to respond positively. Second, our response can also be negative. Third, our response can be optimistic. Fourth, our response can be pessimistic. In addition, we can also react with disappointment, anger, despair and so on. However, we can also address this by living the high motivation and keep fighting. Therefore, we need to prepare our minds properly. The Apostle Paul gives us guidance for how to prepare our minds properly. The Apostle Paul writes: "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is pleasant in the hearing, any virtue and any praise, think on these things "- Philippians 4:8. These things help us to respond to changes with confidence, strong confidence and courage to live, so that we can cope with change and win it.
  2.  Change our habits. Our habits of old, unproductive, that does not give any results for our lives, should we leave. The old ways that prevent us to change, must be removed from our lives. Furthermore, we must build a new attitude, new habits, creative and innovative ways. All these things will help us to get out of life. This way will make us uphill and successful career. If you managed to change the habits of the old and useless, I'm sure you will experience a happy, prosperous and fun.
  3. Change our spiritual lives. Somehow we need God in our lives. Perhaps you think that you can with your own strength to face and live. As a result you abstain from communion with God. You do not seriously follow God. You do not really build your spiritual life. But I want to say to you through this paper that you have to change your spiritual life. Draw near to God. Seek God and His righteousness, then you will find a way out of any trouble you. The Lord God will give you the wisdom to overcome the problems of your life. The requirement is that you should fix your relationship with God. You need to fellowship with God. Pray to Him, ask for guidance. Read His word because that is what will lead you on the right path. You are not late. It's time for you to act. God is always waiting for you to come to Him. He does not force you. God will forgive you somehow hurt him. He is a Father who loves you.

Love Strong as Death

"Plenty of water can not quench love, rivers can not carry her away" - Song of Solomon 8:7.
There is one that we can agree on love. That love will bring something better, get us to do more perfectly. Teaches us how much power it generates. Love makes the world's tired and it feels wonderful noise, at least we can enjoy with love. Love teaches us how to be honest and sacrifice, struggle and take, give and maintain. Known as a great ballad about love ballad in the form of poems about the passion of love. In the above passage, the authors want to express how powerful love. He uses the term "seal" (something stronger) used as a necklace, so close to the heart. Even said, "is stronger than death", meaning love can not be resisted, like death. However, the love that is built should not just blindly love, but tough love is willing to provide the best for their partner. Love like this should be the basis of the husband-wife relationship. Love is so strong, that can not be shaken by anything. Love like this will keep the husband-wife relationship and like any challenges faced in the future will be faced together. Furthermore, the challenge is even making their love and grow stronger.

Errors Cause Fear

"I banish you from this land now, and I shall be hidden from your presence ... so anyone who would meet me, surely would have killed me" - Genesis 4:14.
There is wisdom Java expression that says, "Sopo one would seleh" which means, who is guilty, he would fall or fail on its own. "How did he get around to cover up his mistake," natural law "would lead them to the justice of God is not visible the eyes, but invisible to the eyes of the heart. Cain apparently realized that his actions did not escape from the scrutiny and judgment of God. Cain was afraid to be outside the purview of God. However, he is also afraid of being in God's court. Beyond the control of God, he feared killed by anyone who met him because he was afraid that they used of God to become "a tool in judging" her. Cain's story shows that the guilty will fall first because he is mentally tough against the demands of his conscience. Behind the words can also be understood that Cain Cain asked for mercy and protection of God so that he dared to live life without fear and haunted by guilt. Thankfully God still want to preserve their lives by giving a mark on his forehead protection. Any wrongdoing will evoke fear. Anyone who wants to be free from fear in the court of God, do not hide mistakes. Who does not admit guilt, he is a liar, who will deceive himself. The more errors that are covered, the higher the level of fear.

Tips for Success

Successful person must have a performance that benefits both for themselves, their families, as well as for others. To achieve this, it should be a brilliant way through a variety of positive things. What are some tips for success in our lives?
A. Trust and rely on God
In the book of Proverbs 3:5: "Believe in the Lord with all thine heart, and do not rely on your own understanding." That is, when we want to pursue or achieve success in life, do not we just rely on intelligence, knowledge, skill, greatness and our ability.
But above all the talents and abilities, we must recognize, trust and rely on God in all our lives. God is the source of everything for us, including the sources and determinants of the success of our lives. Even as we work hard, but if God does not bless and bless, is certainly the potential for success to be difficult to achieve. If it can, it is temporary. So, to succeed in life, the first thing to do is trust, rely and involve God in all our struggles.
B. Get used to always think positive
Positive thinking is to have optimism. People who are optimists always see the bright side of things seems dark. Have you ever seen the sun hiding behind the dark cloud? Pessimists see the dark clouds, while the optimist see a thin silver line around the dark cloud.
Positive thinking should be socialized. Why? Because our hearts are tainted by sin, so that way we think and view the model is dominated by the sinful and negative thinking. For example, I could not, my bad, I'm not smart, I do not have a talent like him so I could not possibly work, I was destined to fail, and so forth. Therefore, we must conquer our negative thinking with our hearts filled with positive things. For example, I certainly can, I'll work, although now I have not succeeded but I did not stop sampaia here, I will fight again, work smarter again in a more creative, more honest, more innovative and more. I was just a matter of time to succeed.
C. Follow the biggest dream you have in your heart
In ancient Greece (the 3rd century BC), there lived a man named Demosthenes in Athens. People who are small stature, shy and stuttering is like to be an orator. Of course people laughed at him, but he was serious. He is not afraid to hear the general opinion that says that people like him can never be an orator.
He then began to discipline themselves and practice extra hard to achieve his goals and prove that public opinion is not always true. To amplify his voice, he practiced on the beach. He was rivaling screaming roar of the waves. To practice breathing, he ran up the hill, talking itself. To prepare his speech, he went to a lonely cave. After his speech is composed, memorize it and then say the word by word with clear pronunciation. After several years of seclusion to develop self Demosthenes, he returned to civilian life. By the time he would begin his first speech, the people laughed at him. They still remember who Demosthenes: a little boy, shy and stuttering. However, after the first sentence glides smoothly, then the second sentence, and then the third, fourth, and so on, people began stunned. Either way he menyampakan and content of his speech was so good, so very riveting his audience. Finally, people believe that Demosthenes was a great speech. Until now his speeches, especially that entitled "On the Throne", is still studied by those who are studying to be an orator (Compton's Encyclopedia, Chicago: F.ECompton Company, 1980, volume 7, page 78). We often have to "cover" the ears and eyes on the opinions and evaluations of people. If we think that we could do / be something because we have the potential for that, though a bit (which may not be seen by most people), we must dare to struggle to make it happen, like the orator Demosthenes.
