Learn first that lesson of cooperation. Become less and less selfish,
and more and more selfless in Him. Be not afraid to be made fun of to
become aware of His presence, that self may be a channel through which
the glory of the Father may come unto men in a manner that all may
know there is a glory, even an Israel, of the Lord.

Edgar Cayce Reading 5749-6
What separates ye from seeing the Glory even of Him that walks with
thee oft in the touch of a loving hand, in the voice of those that
would comfort and cheer? For He, thy Christ, is oft with thee.
Doubt, fear, unbelief; fear that thou art not worthy!
Open thine eyes and behold the Glory, even of thy Christ present here,
now, in thy midst! even as He appeared to them on that day!

The Gospel of Strength - Swami Vivekananda
What is sin and what is misery, and what are all these, but the
results of weakness?... Men are taught from childhood that they are
weak and sinners. Teach them that they are all glorious children of
immortality, even those who are the weakest in manifestation. Let
positive, strong, helpful thougts enter into their brains from very
childhood. Lay yourselves open to these thoughts, and not to weakening
and paralysing ones.

First build up your physique. Then only you can get control over the
mind.
Never can hatred and malice vanish from one's heart unless one
becomes a hero.
Karma Yoga. New York, 1896. Complete Works, 1: 79
You need not worry or make yourself sleepless about the world. It will
go on without you. When you have avoided fanaticism, then alone will
you work well. It is the levelheaded and calm person, of good judgment
and cool nerves, of great sympathy and love, who does good work and so
does good to himself. The fanatic is foolish and has no sympathy; he
can never straighten the world, nor himself become pure and perfect.

You must retain great strength in your mind and words. "I am low, I am
low"--repeating these ideas in the mind, man belittles and degrades
himself.

himself.
Sin may be said to be the feeling of every kind of weakness. From this
weakness spring jealousy, malice, and so forth. Hence weakness is sin.
What we want is strength, so believe in yourselves... Make your nerves
strong. What we want is muscles of iron and nerves of steel. We have
wept long enough. No more weeping, but stand on your own feet and be
men.
