About This Quote

The power of belief is one of the most underestimated aspects of life. The idea is that your beliefs will act as a kind of soft armor that protect you from the harsh realities of life. If you believe that life is worth living, you will find it easier to face all the lows and highs, the disappointments and the disappointments. When you believe that life is worth living, these things become less important than how you respond to them.
