"The opposite of depression is expression. What comes out of you doesn't make you sick; what stays in there does."

 

"The only things that we truly own are our own character and our decisions."

- Epictetus

 

"Ozymandias" by Percy Bysshe Shelley is a famous sonnet about the transience of power, telling the story of a traveler 

who describes a ruined state of a once-mighty king (Ramesses II) in the desert, whose inscription boasts of his greatness, 

but whose works have long since vanished, leaving only sand and decay...  

 

"A pessimist is one who makes difficulties of his opportunities and an optimist is one who makes opportunities of his difficulties." 

– Harry S. Truman

 

"I believe I wouldn't have chosen to be here at this time if it wasn't going to work out."  😄 love that.

 

"I am just a point of light of pure awareness."

 

I agree that ego, pride and even fear damages so much of our lives!
