“No matter what your trials have been, or how discouraged you are, if you will make a continued effort to be better, you will find that, being made in the image of God, you are endowed with an unlimited power that is much stronger than your worst trials. Make up your mind that you will win, focusing all your concentration on ceaseless efforts to succeed, and you will surely be victorious.
Remember that your past difficulties did not come to crush you, but to strengthen your determination to use your limitless divine powers to succeed. God wants you to conquer the difficult tests of life and to come back to His home of wisdom."

We have it within ourselves to overcome any obstacle in our path by our will power alone if you believe that you are one with your father. You must remind yourself that you and your father are one and all things that your father hath is yours. Whatever your need is, move forward in your life, as if you already have it. The power of positive thinking is real. You must decide that you can achieve the goals you have set for yourself and you can. Nothing is accomplished with negativity. It is a detractor from success. Success comes when opportunity is met with preparation.
