I've been gaining some insight and wisdom from several of my reading selections. One of my favorites is Furrow by St. Josemaría Escrivá

I read a proverb which is very popular in some countries: “God owns the world, but he rents it out to the brave”, and it made me think.

What are you waiting for? The difficulties you have met have made you shrink back, and you have become “prudent, moderate, and objective”.

Remember that you have always despised those terms, when they became synonyms for cowardly, fainthearted, and comfort-seeking. --St. Josemaría Escrivá (Furrow #99, 101)
