Parmarth Prasanga - 14 Be Strong, Have Faith

14. Never think you to be weak. Have firm faith in yourself. Think, "There is nothing that I cannot do; I can do every�thing if I will." Why should you acknow�ledge defeat to your mind? Know that if you can subdue it, the whole world will be under your feet. One who has no self-confidence does not have real faith in God. Swami Vivekananda has said that the real atheist is he who has no faith in himself. Nobody listens to the words of one who has no self-confidence; and God also does not listen to his prayers.
