speak quietly and carry a big stick

My big stick isn’t about me. It’s about God and knowing that I am in his hands at all times, that he is in all things and that the attachment of positive and negative, good and bad, is often one of my own perception.
To have faith in him, to do what I am supposed to do when I am supposed to do it and to take all as it comes without worrying about the future, that is what speaking quietly and carrying a big stick is about for me.

This means always being prepared and knowing what I’m doing.
That is my big stick. Thus allowing me the confidence to relax and speak quietly.
Anyone care to comment?
