Courage is The Difference between Success and Failure

Often the difference between a successful man and a failure is not one's better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on his ideas, to take a calculated risk, and to act.

 ~ Maxwell Malt

  How can  One Gain Courage?

What is the Almighty, that we should serve him, and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?

Job 21:15

Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver.

Job 22:25

There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God.  Ecclesiastes 2:24

This is Why We Pray:

Through prayer we gain courage, determination, strength, creativity, and the ability to act with the expectancy to be successful.  Therefore, failure is not an option.  We remain focused, steadfast, persistent, and determined to reach our goals.  This is the making of the strong. We aren't defined by age, culture, or  gender. Our hope and trust are in the Almighty:

This is the difference between a successful person and a failure.

Where Happiness Lies

"Happiness is when the body, mind, and soul experience a sense of complete wholeness."

Ellen J. Barrier > Quotes

Many people search for happiness, and never find it. Each individual has his or her own mindset how to achieve happiness. Most believe that if they become rich and famous, they will achieve happiness.

Some search for a perfect relationship with several companions, looking for happiness and never find it. Sometimes along the path for the search of happiness, the explorers only find disappointment and sadness at the end of their journey.

And yet, there are those who aren't rich and famous, many of whom are hardworking people making the best of what they have. Some are very poor financially, but among them are some very special people; they thank God for the things they have. Within them lies that special joy and happiness, they never searched for. They have hope, because they are achievers of something that is priceless; Happiness
