Quotes by Melissa Collings (?)

“Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth. You have power over your mind—not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength. Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking. When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive—to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.”
― Melissa Collings, The False Flat
