A good strategy for me is to continually go back to the source. To drop my bucket I. The well in the hope of a refill. Why am I always talking about the Scriptures? Because they sustained me in the most difficult years in the band and they remain a plumb line to gauge how crooked the wall of my ego has become. To getting the measure of myself. This is where I find the inspiration to carry on. The exhortation that makes this struggle with the self workable. The wisdom that makes it doable.
I return to a spiritual master like the apostle Paul, way back in the first century of the modern era. I go to someone who overcame himself.
