“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” - Albert Einstein

Recently been around someone who’s always persecuted by life? by a person? a relationship? a system?  When you think about it, it’s a great place to hide and a great strategy for staying in the same place.  Now I know that sometimes there’s good reason to think this way.  You just might be right and/or you just might be creating the situation.  Facts are facts.  But I like this reverse paranoia idea -

- the delusion that everyone is out to help you.

When you’re lined up with your values and passions, the Universe does set this up.  Beginner’s luck is real!  Freshness, purity, in-tuneness, coming with heart from unimpeded instincts.  Reverse paranoia builds confidence and success in all kinds of ways.  And we need it, because the measure and development of character is not in our achievements, but rather in how we deal with difficulties and setbacks.  For problems are the roughage of life, and we’re really warriors taking them on every day.

So be a confident warrior knowing full well, successes pass as quickly as failures, and move on to the next thing with the Universe on your side.  Move from fear to faith and go.
