“To a large degree, the measure of our peace of mind is determined by how much we are able to live in the present moment. Irrespective of what happened yesterday or last year, and what may or may not happen tomorrow, the present moment is where you are—always!”

“A low mood is not the time to analyze your life. To do so is emotional suicide. If you have a legitimate problem, it will still be there when your state of mind improves.

The next time you feel low, for whatever reason, remind yourself, “This too shall pass.” It will.”

“Even though we often mess up, most of us are doing the best that we know how with the circumstances that surround us.”

“We deny the parts of ourselves that we deem unacceptable rather than accepting the fact that we're all less than perfect.”
