Everybody has their own tasks; everybody has its own characteristics, positive and negative; everybody has its own temptations. But, basically, the road is one: Believe that you are a child of Light and you will be in the Light of God. Believe that God believes in you and that other people believe in you; believe that you are loved and love yourself worthily of that love; namely you grow up to the extent of that love.
Metropolitan Anthony (Bloom)
