…….. A primary ingredient towards building a better future is faith (and hope), strengthened with a sincere belief that such a future is possible. Such hope can be nurtured by moving towards a higher version of yourself by doing good works and being open to life in all its forms. Faith is cultivated through a consistent effort to move towards others striving to do the same, while being constantly on guard against ideas, people, and actions which destroy your faith…….(From page 312 of the book “Jumbo Jumble”)
Author’s Comment: To be most effective, HOPE IN A BETTER FUTURE MUST BE EMPOWERED WITH ACTION, AND ACTION MUST BE INSTILLED WITH HOPE. As you build your faith, put it into practice and feel it grow and energize you. Otherwise, it remains as a dormant seed which isn’t nourished, and eventually loses all potential of beautifying the world. Ask yourself “How can I beautify the world?” And do it!
