Trust In Your Own Talents And Abilities - A Quotation by M.N. Hopkins

Trust in your own talents and abilities to make a better way not only for yourself, but for many others who inhabit a human form.  Guard against an inflated sense of ego.  Be wise and trust in the good consul of your Self. Delight in the gifts of Spirit and be grateful that you will be able to make a difference in the lives of many.  Be kind and generous of Spirit.
