“The person who says “I am God” may be a raving egomaniac.”
I laughed out loud when I read that and thought about various religious figures ranging from Jesus to Joseph Smith. It’s interesting how in Jesus’ lifetime many thought he was nuts and he is now arguably one of the most beloved and worshiped figures around the world. Today, you can’t really walk around saying that you’re the Son of God or a prophet of some sort; you’ll get put in a straightjacket. I find it fascinating how we respect these figures of the past, but are completely suspicious of anyone walking down a similar but modern path.
“Realize that nothing is impossible for you; recognize that you too are immortal and that you can embrace all things in your mind…”
I really like this quote. I’m supposed to graduate this semester and at times, it’s pretty overwhelming managing 17 units on top of my regular life. That quote fits perfectly and I think it can be applied to everyone. Coming to the realization that just because something is hard or even painful doesn’t make it impossible is an important part of growing up. I’m definitely partial to anything advocating believing in your own strength and abilities. If we don’t believe in ourselves, who will?

Its so true that if someone was walking around in these times saying they were the child of God people would just write them off as a crazy person, yet so many people worship Jesus.
