If you want a little fear and terror because your life is dull, get a future. Terrifying!
Byron Katie

It's not easy to find your own way when you believe that you need love, approval, appreciation, or anything from your family. It's particularly hard when you want them to see things your way.
Byron Katie
Image
The most important relationship is the mind's relationship with itself. In other words, the ultimate - and, really, the only - relationship you have is the relationship with your own thoughts.

Eating, drinking, and depression disorders are really thinking disorders.
