THE SECRET

Depression has always been one of those taboo topics. It's not talked about much, yet so many suffer from it. I love this video that wisely and accurately explains depression. He is wise. And you would be wise to take twenty minutes to educate yourself so that you, too, can understand what so many people suffer with.

ISSUE vs. IDENTITY

“If there’s one thing I see as the biggest problem, it’s not in building a world where we eliminate the ignorance of others. It’s in building a world where we teach acceptance of ourselves. We’re okay with who we are, because when we get honest we see that we all struggle, we all suffer…. We all know what it is to hurt…. And we all know how important it is to heal.”

Weaknesses, illnesses, and mistakes are “an issue, not an identity.”

Start at 7:35 for my favorite part of the video.
