Look back with greater wisdom and forward with naïve hope, but be in the present with contentment and joy. We waste years, lives, and time not with failure, but with the fear thereof.

This isn’t to describe what anxiety is or is not, or to help those who do not have it understand what it means.

On those days you decide to greet the sun instead of your pillow, do you ever really know why? No deadlines, no anxiety attacks, just one thing leads to another and suddenly you’re kissing the rays as they peer through your closed blinds.

Hold yourself to a higher standard every day.
