We have so much going on in our lives and so often we think we are all alone; the only one to ever face this situation; the only one to ever reach such depths of despair.

But while each of us is truly unique, we are not alone. Most of the things we experience have been experienced before or are currently being experienced, by someone, somewhere.

We have more in common and are far closer to each other than we will ever know.

Taking responsibility for who and what you are is a great start.

You are responsible for you, no one else!

You allow others to influence you positively or negatively.

Your choice – you choose every minute of the day.

But we all have our own perspectives which color our thoughts and views.

Our environment does shape us but thinking rather than reacting helps us shape ourselves and then our environment.
