Every day we're given a choice: We can relax and float in the direction that the water flows, or we can swim hard against it.

Each one of us regardless of our situation, is in our search of our most authentic, vital, generous and wise self.

Сertainly there are people for whom anti-depression medication has allowed them to use difficulty to wake up, and I don't deny that at all, but as usual with us human beings, we've overdone it.
