“Jazz is really about the human experience. It’s about the ability of human beings to take the worst of circumstances and struggles and turn it into something creative and constructive. That’s something that’s built into the fiber of every human being. And I think that’s why people can respond to it. They feel the freedom in it. And the attributes of jazz are also admirable. It’s about dialogue. It’s about sharing. And teamwork. It’s in the moment, and it's nonjudgmental.” PeopleThinkingFeelsHumansMomentsTurnsHuman BeingsAbilityStruggleCreativeWorstCircumstancesBuiltJazzDialogueTeamworkAttributesHuman ExperienceConstructiveAdmirableFiber Author:Herbie Hancock

“It is so important that our lives are built not on our feelings or circumstances, but on the word of God, and songs can really help us to meditate on and retain truth.

“We act, we behave, and we feel the vibration that we're in at the present time according to what we consider our self image to be. And we do not deviate from that pattern. The image you hold of yourself is a premise, a foundation (idea) on which your entire personality is built. This image, not only controls your behavior but your circumstances as well.” FeelsWellsIdeasSelfPersonalityCircumstancesBehaviorBuiltFoundationPatternsBehaveVibrationsPremisesPresent TimeDeviate Author:Maxwell Maltz
