Thoughts for Thought
"You know, a lot of people don’t love themselves. And they go through life with deep and haunting emotional conflicts. So the length of life means that you must love yourself. And you know what loving yourself also means? It means that you’ve got to accept yourself."
The Three Dimensions of a Complete Life
- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. '67
"Slow breathing is like an anchor in the midst of an emotional storm: the anchor won't make the storm go away, but it will hold you steady until it passes."
- Russ Harris
"Mental health problems don’t define who you are. They are something you experience. You walk in the rain and you feel the rain, but you are not the rain."
- Matt Haig
"You are not your illness. You have an individual story to tell. You have a name, a history, a personality. Staying yourself is part of the battle.”
- Julian Seifter
"The strongest people are not those who show strength in front of the world but those who fight and win battles that others do not know anything about.”
- Jonathan Harnisch
