Enjoy the gift of uncertainty!
Uncertainty is in direct opposition to faith. This is why when we are in a place of uncertainty, our human reaction is often to withdraw and take a step back.

We must assume our existence as broadly as we in any way can; everything, even the unheard-of, must be possible in it.

If you are active or it’s hot, you will need to consume more than 96...
