We do well to recall that there are only two wills on earth: God’s will and self-will, and self-will can only be overcome by God’s will. Self-will cannot overcome self-will. That is our greatest trouble: we are trying to make ourselves better. We can’t do it. ~ McQ, Joe. The Steps We Took (p. 43). August House. Kindle Edition.

Pulling yourself up by bootstraps wont cut it.
Self-will cannot overcome self-will.
That is our greatest trouble:
we are trying to make ourselves better.
We can’t do it.
We made a decision to turn our lives and our wills
over to a Power greater than we are.
When we finally and completely get that right
our lives take wings and really are
BEYOND OUR WILDEST DREAMS!
