It's frightening to think that you might not know something, but more frightening to think that, by and large, the world is run by people who have faith that they know exactly what is going on.

About This Quote

When you feel that everything is out of your control, it is hard to think positively. Instead of being excited about the world you might be living in, you feel hopeless. And, when you don’t have faith in your abilities and don’t believe you can make a difference, it’s easy to live a life of fear and inaction. But, while we’re all granted a certain amount of freedom, we also have responsibilities to do something with that freedom.

If we choose not to do anything with it, we’re cheating ourselves and our future selves. We may like the idea of uncertainty but the only way to get through it is with faith and persistence.
