thus freeing your mind to think clearly toward the solution
that is certain to come. Never take yourself too seriously.

are a huge cause of self-inflicted suffering.

to put the past in the past where it belongs.
However, sometimes a simple symbolic act can help immeasurably
to grant ourselves freedom from the past.

If I feel insignificant I will remember my goals.
