Most of our stress and suffering come not from events, but from our thoughts. Reframe from negative thoughts, and stress subsides.
No one else can take risks for us, or face our losses on our behalf, or give us self-esteem. No one can spare us from life's slings and arrows, and when death comes, we meet it alone.
No one can give you anything-love, shame, self-esteem- until you give it to yourself. Today, give yourself good things.
