Build your life more around what brings you purpose, and less around what soothes your fear.

Worrying is suffering future pain that might never come to be

Anxious about something you have no control over?

1) Take a deep, slow breath
2) Think of 3 things that are true RIGHT NOW that you're grateful for
3) Trust your future self to have your back for whatever comes your way

"We are not here to fit in, be well balanced, or provide exempla for others. We are here to be eccentric, different, perhaps strange, perhaps merely to add our small piece, our little clunky, chunky selves, to the great mosaic of being."

Quote saying: I get tired of "under 40" lists.
Show me someone who got their PhD at 60 after losing everything.
Give me the 70-year-old debut novelist who writes from a lifetime of love and grief. Give me calloused hands and tender hearts.

My Mother's Eyes: Holocaust Memories of a Young Girl Anna Ornstein is a Holocaust survivor. After emigrating…

If you are interested in reading a first-hand experience of a young girl surviving through the Holocaust ( I know many are re-reading Anne Frank)

I highly recommend my cousin-in-law Anna Ornstein's book "My Mother's Eyes" - she is a internationally respected psychoanalyst and expert in genocide

This feels timely in a global sense.

β€œWe know that the great majority of people have a strong need for authority which it can admire, to which it can submit, and which dominates and sometimes even ill-treats it.”

"The fundamental insight of psychoanalysis is the mind is divided against itself. We are of two (or more) minds about most everything.

Psychological health is about integrating the discordant parts and recognizing they are all the same self.

In this way, we become more whole."
