I asked for strength and I got wind and rain to make me STRONG. I asked for calm seas and I got storms to give me CONFIDENCE. I asked for security and I got fears to face to give me COURAGE. I asked to be taken care of and I got challenges to make me SELF-RELIANT. I asked for success and I was given opportunities for SIGNIFICANCE. I asked for wealth and I got the rewards of SERVICE. I RECEIVED NOTHING I WANTED BUT EVERYTHING I NEEDED. Michael Josephson (adapted)
