Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing, at whatever cost, must be attained.”: Marie Curie

Jesus got up out of bed and spoke to the storm like he knew it. He told it to be still, and it did. Jesus expended more energy getting out of his bed, than he did eliminating the very thing these fishermen couldn’t withstand. God gave Jeremiah the prophet His plan for us: For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart (Jeremiah 29:11-13). God promises a future for us. He gives us hope through Jesus Christ. Oprah Winfrey: “It doesn’t matter how far you might rise. At some point, you are bound to stumble…. If you’re constantly pushing yourself higher…the law of averages, not to mention the Myth of Icarus, predicts that you will at some point fall. And when you do, I want you to know this, remember this: There is no such thing as failure. Failure is just life trying to move us in another direction.” On June 10th, 2021, Redditor Iancrowley posted an image of Fortnite character Jonesy sitting on a throne with the caption "the devil whispered in my ear 'your one shot' I told him I got a medkit" to /r/Cringetopia, [3] gaining over 950 upvotes in six months (shown below). On December 20th, 2021, TikToker [8] @poloboy posted a video following the trend, gaining over 3 million views in a day (shown below). On the same day, YouTuber [9] TokPlugg posted a compilation of the videos.Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.” -Harriet Tubman This quote can also be perceived as a sense of unconditional positive regard about oneself which is something that always serves people well no matter where they are going or what they do. I am the Storm: Poems It’s apparent that Jesus’ disciples could not withstand the storm that night. It’s also apparent that they tried and failed to the point that they could no longer try any more. Their only course of action was to ask Jesus to intervene. They asked this carpenter’s son what to do on the open sea. They asked a Rabbi what they should do when their ship was breaking up. They asked because they had run out of fight.

Today I whispered in the devil’s ear, ‘I am a child of God, a woman of faith, a warrior of Christ. I am the storm.’” And when he got into the boat, his disciples followed him. 24 And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep. 25 And they went and woke him, saying, “Save us, Lord; we are perishing.” 26 And he said to them, “Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?” Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. 27 And the men marveled, saying, “What sort of man is this, that even winds and sea obey him?” Confidence comes from hours and days and weeks and years of constant work and dedication.”: Robert Staubach

On December 19th, TIkToker [7] @jalabic posted a similar video, gaining over 2.7 million views in two days (shown below, right). For me, it’s always been about preparation, and the more prepared I can be each week, the less pressure I feel and the more confident I am. As your confidence grows, it’s only natural that the pressure you feel diminishes.”: Aaron Rodgers The devil whispered in my ear, ‘you are not strong enough to withstand the storm’. Today, I whispered in the devil’s ear, ‘I am the storm’.” Confidence is when you believe in yourself and your abilities, arrogance is when you think you are better than others and act accordingly.”: Stewart Stafford I taught myself confidence. When I’d walk into a room and feel scared to death, I’d tell myself, ‘I’m not afraid of anybody.’ And people believed me. You’ve got to teach yourself to take over the world.”: Priyanka Chopra Jonas
