Don't compare yourself to anyone. Be happy to be the wonder unique, very special person that you are.

This life is yours. Take the power to choose what you want to do and do it well. Take the power to love what you want in life and love it honestly. Take the power to walk in the forest and be a part of nature. Take the power to control your own life. No one else can do it for you. Take the power to make your life happy.

If you have a goal in life that takes a lot of energy, that requires a lot of work, that incurs a great deal of interest and that is a challenge to you, you will always look forward to waking up to see what the new day brings.

Let us dance in the sun, wearing wild flowers in our hair.

Come into the mountains, dear friend Leave society and take no one with you But your true self Get close to nature Your everyday games will be insignificant Notice the clouds spontaneously forming patterns And try to do that with your life.

Go beyond yourself and reach out to other people with a sincere love, respect, caring, and understanding of their needs.

Getting better from depression demands a lifelong commitment. I've made that commitment for my life's sake and for the sake of those who love me.
