If I am physically unable to teach my child to throw a curve ball, I will have
more time to teach him to handle the curves thrown by life, and this shall
serve him better.
And if aging robs my strength, mental alertness and physical stamina, I will
offer those around me the strength of my belief, the depth of my love and the
spiritual stamina of a soul that has been carefully shaped by the hard edges
of a long life and numberless experience.
No matter what losses or broken dreams may lie in my destiny, I will meet
each challenge with dignity and resolve. For God has given me many gifts,
and for each one that I may lose, I will find other ten more for me to
cultivate. Consequently, my life always is enriched a lot.
And so, when I can no longer dance, I will sing joyfully; when I haven’t the
strength to sing, I will whistle with contentment; when my breath is shallow
and weak, I will listen intently and sing out loudly wordless melodies of love
from the bottom of my heart; and when the heavenly bright light approaches,
I will pray silently until I cannot pray.
Then it will be time for my reversion to my original point. And what then
should I fear?
- David L. Weatherford
Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.

Nỗi sợ và niềm tin
Tôi từng sống trong nỗi sợ hãi thường trực về việc phải mất đi những gì
mình đang có, hay không bao giờ đạt được những gì mình ước ao.
