To educate yourself for the feeling of gratitude means to take nothing for granted, but to always seek out and value the kind that will stand behind the action. Nothing that is done for you is a matter of course. Everything originates in a will for the good, which is directed at you. Train yourself never to put off the word or action for the expression of gratitude.
–ALBERT SCHWEITZER

When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.

Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties.
