Encourage people when their self-doubt is on display. Encourage them in the midst of sticky situations. “This too shall pass” is a way to build resilience in anyone going through a rough patch. Your smile too can work wonders, if you give it in a way that demonstrates belief. Encouragement is the best gift you…

Every religion can be scrutinized for its veracity via four basic tests. And you can verify the religion through the religion’s core texts, the biography of its chief proponent or both.
