Happiness is when what you think, what you say, & what you do are in harmony.- Mahatma Gandhi Of all things you wear, your expression is the most important.- Janet Lane Your morning thoughts may determine your conduct for the day.

The best support you can give to anyone you love is your wellness. When you are well, joyful, fun, and happy, you are the greatest gift to everyone around you. That's when you inspire wellness, joy, and fun within them. When you take care of yourself, you are in a much better position to take care of others. Your tiredness, sickness, and inability to look after yourself does not support or help anyone. Your loved ones don't want to be the cause of your unhappiness or exhaustion. They want to be the cause of your joy and wellness. Words don't teach as well as example. Support others through your thriving. Lift others by lifting yourself.- Emily Maroutian ash bluereservoir Bob bradp butterfly88 @catsmother cryptonomica @dazzal @domesticgoddess ellyfant Emerald ericmiles @james joshi @lilac lisa Shadow Seesaw @marti @naiwen safeinsanity @shaliza stluee summersun20 Lee T.T.

“The advice I’d give to somebody that’s silently struggling is, you don’t have to live that way. You don’t have to struggle in silence. You can be un-silent. You can live well with a mental health condition, as long as you open up to somebody about it, because it’s really important you share your experience with people so that you can get the help that you need.” — Demi Lovato

I have read Viktor Frankl. I really liked his quote. However, when it comes to emotional health, I think no one talks as better as the Buddha. He said you should be happy with something you have and seek happiness in things you don't own.

More hearts pine away in secret anguish for unkindness from those who should be their comforters than for any other calamity in life.- Owen D. Young I advise thee to visit thy relations and friends; but I advise thee not to live too near them.- Thomas Fuller (consuled in the interest of good family relations) Never discredit your gut instinct. You are not paranoid. Your body can pick up on bad vibrations. If something deep inside of you says something is not right about a person or situation, trust it.- Ralph Smart
