Decide to believe in God, who created you. Decide to believe in yourself, that you truly can reach goals—your goals

Decide what you want. Believe you can have it. Believe you deserve it and believe it’s possible for you.

I believe that in its primordial form all of creation is sound and that it's not just random sound, that it's music. You've heard the expression, music of the spheres? Well, that's a very literal phrase. In the Gospels, we read, "And the Lord God made man from the dust of the earth and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul."
