When troubles arise, rely more and more on yourself. The bigger the problem, the more energy, confidence, and perseverance we need to bring forward. When we surrender to fate, it only makes it more intolerable. By not helping ourselves we only double the weight of our concerns and prevent us from seeing how best to overcome them. Strengthening our weaknesses and confidently going forward dissolves worries and entices success out of failure. The wise know themselves, understand the challenge, increase their knowledge and skills, and therefore conquer all—even the unlucky stars.
