    “Smaller than your God,” and I think this is where a lot of powerful beings mess up–they try to become God more than remembering to continue to be smaller than God. Thank you for sharing this, Mitch.

    Thank you, Mitch. This is good advice. Oh, and as president TR said, “Walk softly and carry a big stick.”
