New on TikTok: Marcus Garvey said, “If you have no confidence in yourself, you are twice defeated in the race of life” (Garvey, Philosophy and Opinions 72). Bessie Coleman lived that truth. She looked at the sky and claimed a future no one offered her. Faith is not wishing. Faith is movement. Faith is the quiet decision to rise anyway. Share this with someone who is keeping our wisdom alive. Comment below: What wisdom have you learned that no textbook ever taught you? What did Marcus Garvey mean by, “If you have no confidence in yourself, you are twice defeated in the race of life”? He meant that confidence is the foundation of every victory. What did Marcus Garvey mean by, “Without confidence, you are already defeated”? He meant that doubt does the damage before the world even tries. What did Marcus Garvey mean by, “Rise up, you mighty race”? He meant that we lift ourselves by trusting our own strength. https://ift.tt/oXFmbWs #MarcusGarvey #MarcusGarveyQuote #GarveyWisdom #DailyMeditation #KnowledgeIsPower { "@context": "https://schema.org ", "@type": "VideoObject", "name": "Faith Is A Living Thing", "description": "Elder Grace reflects on confidence, faith, and the courage Bessie Coleman carried when she claimed the sky.", "thumbnailUrl": "https://ift.tt/1EiA7xk ", "uploadDate": "2025-11-17", "duration": "PT15S", "contentUrl": "https://ift.tt/gab0dTR ", "embedUrl": "https://ift.tt/gab0dTR ", "publisher": "The Garvey Classroom", "mainEntityOfPage": "https://ift.tt/HUZuGx2 ", "transcript": "You don’t always have to see it to believe it.
