Falling down is part of life…getting up is living.

So many who struggle with anxiety and/or depersonalization often believe that they cannot “slip” or if they do they’re back to square one. Allowing yourself to be human is much more important. It’s the one’s who do get back on the horse, who do give it another try, who are actually living.

Regardless of a setback in your life, whether health related, relationship connected or merely a difficult day… ALWAYS STAY IN THE GAME. Never define yourself by one unforeseen event or one run of bad luck. We make our own luck. We construct our own reality. Take responsibility for everything in your life…and life begins to work. Choose to make this day and every one hereafter what you want it to be. You always have a choice. Get back up, figure out what you did wrong, and do it over, the right way.

We’re all responsible for every occurrence in our lives. You’re never a victim when you choose to take responsibility for everything in your life. You always have a choice, personal choice. Choose to make this day the one you want it to be. Don’t sit there pointing the finger and blaming others. It’s up to you. It always has been.
