God is everywhere and in everyone, but the channeling of His Graces varies, according to the creature’s level of development. We can’t demand from a child the attitude and maturity of a scholar. Be optimistic, but not foolish. Instead of trying to think positively, strive to think correctly.
Faith is an article of lucidity, decision and perseverance, as well as penchant for work and sacrifice, with the bravery to see oneself (and one’s potentials) with honest realism.
What we do is not what we believe we can do, but what we perceive to be possible to accomplish, considering, consciously or unconsciously, the conceptual filters presented above.
