Change your thoughts, change your life. —LAO TZU When I was fighting depression, I remember hearing this expression and not understanding it at first. When I decided to implement it in my life, a whole new world opened up for me. Change the negative, self-loathing thoughts to positive, self-affirming ones. When you’re positive about yourself and everything around you, you begin to see the world in a different light. Your life today is what you make of it. Goal: Be mindful of the tone of your thoughts.

Do what makes you happy, and don't care what others think.

If everybody in the world saw a therapist, we would have a better world.

I prefer to cry alone, Pride? No. I just want to avoid trial of people who don't know the reason of my tears.
