In these dark moments Satan whispers in our ears that we will never be able to succeed, that the price isn't work the effort, and that our small part will never make a difference. He, the father of all lies, will try to prevent us from seeing the end from the beginning.”

I get confused and I don't understand and it just looks fake to me. It's more difficult for me to be creative that way.”
