We are all the pieces of what we remember. We hold in ourselves the hopes and fears of those who love us. As long as there is love and memory, there is no true loss.
What mental health needs is more sunlight, more candor, and more unashamed conversation.
You can influence, direct and control your own environment. You can make your life what you want it to be.
You are responsible to yourself, to love yourself, to care for yourself, and to help yourself.
Stop waiting for Friday, for Summer, for someone to fall in love with you, for life. Happiness is achieved when you stop waiting for it and make the most of the moment you are in now.
Stop a minute, right where you are. Relax your shoulders, shake your head and spine like a dog shaking off cold water. Tell that imperious voice in your head to be still.
One of the biggest defects in life is the inability to ask for help.
Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine.
May your choices reflect your hopes not your fears.
Live in such a way that if someone spoke badly of you, no one would believe it.
