You have the freedom and the ability to decide what to do with your life, and that includes learning how to welcome happiness again. It's a conscious choice we each have to make, to emerge from the embers of profound loss and hopelessness, to become the fire that warms us, lights our path, all of it. We can embody that warmth and light. Becca Vry
About This Quote

If you are feeling depressed about the way your life is going, there is hope. You can choose to be happy again. That choice takes effort on your part. It means pursuing happiness in all aspects of your life, which sometimes requires letting go of pain.

You can choose to feel better, not worse. If you are feeling hopeless, you can choose to feel better, not worse. The choice is yours.
