In a storm of struggles, I have tried to control the elements, clasp the fist tight so as to protect self and happiness. But stress can be an addiction, and worry can be our lunge for control, and we forget the answer to this moment is always yes because of Christ.

I used to let a lot of unimportant things bother me. I don't anymore. Right now, things are going great in my life. It used to be when that happened, I would be waiting for something to go wrong. Now I don't expect that - if something negative does happen, I'll deal with it, learn from it and realize it is the way it is supposed to be.

If something bothers me, it bothers me for a long time until I find a way to work it out. Music provided me with a means of working things out.

I have learned a lot about myself and come to deal with a lot of things that, at first, bothered me.

Nature, philosophy and social issues are the three things that always occupy my mind. You do not have any power over others but can only change yourself.

I worry about the things I can affect, and the things I have no control over I move by.

The more time goes on, the closer I am to the ground. I've been exposed to so many issues and people living under different pressures. It's helped me realize that a lot of glamorous things that people prioritize really don't matter.

I fight to embrace the entire circle of human activity to the full extent of my ability.

When you are full of pride on the inside, it makes you stiff, stubborn, and creates strife with others.
