And I don't know what this is ,a strange belief or attitude that I have. But I really firmly believe that I am supported at all times even in the depths of hard time, a difficult time, a challenging time, I really feel that I am supported whether you believe in God, or you believe in a higher power, for me I really do believe in that and I do believe that God focus on into what I'll get. And so believing that I am supported all the time means that that is then become my reality. And suppose it's one of those things when somebody might say, 'Well, okay, but if you didn't believe that then it wouldnt happen.

I'm gonna be fine, I'm gonna be fine. I really believe it at a very cellular level. And for me that's how you live hopeful. And I supposed, it's just that question of what would you prefer?
