A strong philosophy based on what’s true in the Universe…
““A strong philosophy based on what’s true in the Universe will save you from playing the role of the victim—a person who’s been ill-used, a person who’s suffered bad luck, or a person whose life is one of despondency and unhappiness. A strong philosophy will sustain you through adversity because you know that the mystery will unravel itself and reveal a happy and perfect ending. Do you think that you could maintain Peter’s joyous outlook if you became paralyzed? If you don’t have a personal philosophy that will see you through the times of hardship, tragedy, and despair that come to us all, it’s unlikely.””
