in prosperous circumstances,

"I believe that faith 
might be precisely that ability 
to trust the river, to trust the flow and 
the lover. It is a process that we don’t 
have to change, coerce, or improve. 
We need to allow it to flow."

A study conducted at the 
Eastern Ontario Research Institute 
found that people who exercised
twice a week for 10 weeks
felt more competent socially,
academically, and athletically.
They also rated their body image
and self-esteem higher. Best of all,
rather than the physical changes
in their bodies being responsible 
for the uptick in confidence, it was
the immediate, endorphin-fueled
positivity from exercise that made
all the difference. Schedule your
exercise to make certain it happens,
or the days will just slip away.

"Fear, anger, resentment, 
and stress are poisons you create 
in your mind. If you take charge of your
mind, you can create a chemistry 
of blissfulness."
