He reminds me that all of this life requires more of Him and less of me. God does give us more than we can handle.

I really worked at this, and I focused, and I was able to replace self-doubt with focus. That was something new for me to say self-doubt is there, but it does not need to be in the front row.

“Today I believe that man cannot escape his destiny to create whatever it is we make - jazz, a wooden spoon, or graffiti on the wall.

And finally, is the question itself important? We must ask ourselves that. The most important thing is always to doubt the importance of the question.”
