“This is when people can give up. The pain of looking inwards, of realising that they must be responsible for making it better, and for making changes, is too much.”

“Gratitude doesn’t make challenges go away but you learn to see them as a reminder to get you back on your path in life, by choosing hope over fear; that, in itself, is something to be thankful for.”

“I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in.
I am lost... I am helpless.
It isn't my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.

I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend I don't see it.
I fall in again.
I can't believe I am in the same place.
But, it isn't my fault.
It still takes me a long time to get out.

I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I still fall in. It's a habit.
My eyes are open.
I know where I am.
It is my fault. I get out immediately.

walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.

I walk down another street.”
