If we have plain old ordinary fear then we are within reach of a solution. Fear has been with humankind for millennia and we do know what to do about it-pray about it, talk about it, feel the fear, and do it anyway.

Sometimes he is frugal and serious; at other times profuse, airy, and gay.

Each one of you must be holy also in order to help your brothers pursue their vocation to sanctity.

Now repentance is no fun at all. It is something much harder than merely eating humble pie.

The only person who could do it perfectly would be a perfect person - and he would not need it.

As soon as I have it dialed in, the company changes and the team changes and my role changes as a result. What the company needs is always evolving, and I don't get to choose what I want to do as much as I thought I would be now - which is OK. It keeps me in this position of learning new things and keeping me humble. There is always something I don't know, and I'm comfortable with that.
