Michelango's job, as he saw it, was to get rid of the excess marble that surrounded God's creation. So it is with you. The perfect you isn't something you need to create, because God already created it. The perfect you is the love within you. Your job is to allow the Holy Spirit to remove the fearful thinking that surrounds your perfect self, just as excess surrounded Michelangelo's perfect statue.
All life is one.
The world is one home. All members of one human family. All creation is an organic whole. No man is independent of this whole. Man makes himself miserable by separating himself from others.
