Mitch Albom
Image
A man who can take anything will find most things unsatisfying. And a man without memories is just a shell.
Mitch Albom
Image
Much of what we called depression was really dissatisfaction, a result of setting a bar impossibly high or expecting treasures we weren't willing to work for.
Mitch Albom
Image
There are many things in my life that I wish I could take back. Many moments I would recast.
Mitch Albom
Image
Giving to other people makes me feel alive. Not my car or my house. Not what I look like in the mirror. When I give my time, when I can make someone smile after they were feeling sad.
Mitch Albom

Mitch Albom
Image
The backside of a mountain is a fight against human nature. You have to care as much about yourself on the way down as you did on the way up.
Mitch Albom
Image
Accept who you are and revel in it.
Mitch Albom

I feel ashamed now that I tried to take my life. It is such a precious thing. I had no one to talk me out of my despair and that was a mistake. You need to keep people close. You need to give them access to your heart.
