Personal Development Quotes #4Here are some personal development quotes from my personal journal. I hope they help you as much as they help me.All the things that I can't measure: love, happiness, knowledge, joy - these are the things that make my life. Money just services it. It's true in life that I have been wounded, but I have always kept walking. We are all born with greatness. It's a funny thing that when I accept that I have weaknesses, actually feel stronger. Petting a dog. The soft, happy look in his eyes is a reflection of what I feel in my heart. When I am "on purpose", I see time differently. I no longer chase the future, but instead enjoy the present. All that you have been seeking outside of yourself, you already are. Every solution started as a seemingly unanswerable question. Be true to yourself and be genuine. That is what we are all here to do and it is the most memorable gift you can give to others. Whatever comes my way, I will figure out a way to make them work for me. It is our nature as humans that once we set our minds to something, we can't be stopped. I am not perfect, I don't have all the answers, and I may make mistakes. But, I do know that my time for action is now. Thinking that you need more money is not helpful. Creating a specific plan on how you will increase your income is helpful. My passive habit: sitting on the couch, watching TV. My active shift question: What can I do to feel happier right this instant? Not proactive: How much longer can I sleep in? Proactive: What would be a great start to my day? Strong start, slow start, gain momentum or lose some momentum. Just keep rolling - it is only way the snowball of change grows. Create a clear picture of what you want to achieve. When fear or stress cloud the image, just re-focus. Just keep going. No matter what life throws at me, with time, I figure out how to use it to be smarter, stronger, more kind. We have infinite capabilities. Often, my acts of bravery started from a place of fear. From fear, beautiful things can grow. Sometimes, my gains in strength and wisdom had a beginning in fear or pain. My life has been full of suffering, but also full with overcoming. Knowledge doesn't result from what has happened to me as much as it results from how I learn and grow from what has happened to me. Hope is the hand that leads you out of the dark and into the light. No matter how small an act of kindness, it is evidence that when faced with a choice, you chose to do good. And that is powerful. Whoever dediced to call it "SELF-esteem" was right, because how good I feel is up to me. I hope you enjoyed my personal development quotes and I thank you for taking the time to read them.

Exhausted? Stressed-out? Overwhelmed?
Hi,Courtney here, author of this site. When I developed anxiety and depression, I went to a psychologist, a psychiatrist and a physician, and to be truthful, in my experience, these people couldn't really help.Therapy sessions, yoga and getting more exercise lessened my anxiety symptoms, but did not stop them for good.
In fact, I later learned that because I was living in a constant state of low-level stress and anxiety, the chemicals in my brain had changed, making me more anxious and depressed. Clearly, merely managing my symptoms was not enough - in fact, following "the doctor's orders" made things worse....
