“Hope is as essential to your life as air and water. You need hope to cope.

Hope comes from having a purpose.”

Intentar cambiar solo con la fuerza de voluntad es agotador. Puedes mantenerlo un tiempo, pero se siente artificial y estresante obligarte a ser distinto simplemente con la fuerza de voluntad.”
