About This Quote
As I fingered my way through the songs, I felt my worries slough away. My music has always been the best remedy for my dark moods. As I sang, even my bruises seemed to pain me less. When you dream a dream and then work to make it a reality, you will doubt your abilities and focus on how difficult it is going to be.
However, when you take a step back and look at the big picture, things appear to have a better outlook. When you see your life as something that can be overcome and conquered, you will not allow yourself to become overwhelmed by your problems.
