I hope that you never cower from your dark chapters, but highlight them as proof of perseverance, endurance, and strength.
P.S. Success hits different when you spend more time clapping for yourself than looking down on your failures.
I also hope that you never cower from your dark chapters, but highlight them as proof of PERSEVERANCE, DETERMINATION, and STRENGTH. People need a fairytale. They need an inspiration. Sometimes they need to recognize that they are their hero. This is the tax of success.
If you feel anxiety or depression, you are not in the present. You are either anxiously projecting the future or depressed and stuck in the past. The only thing you have any control over is the present moment; simple breathing exercises can make us calm and present instantly.
Don't be a reflection of your depression, your dark, or your ugly. Reflect what you want. Your light, your beauty, & your strength. Aspire for greatness - reflect who you are; not which deficits you maintain. Showcase the hidden treasures.
