"We are not determined by our experiences, but are self-determined by the meaning we give to them; and when we take particular experiences as the basis for our future life, we are almost certain to be misguided to some degree. Meanings are not determined by situations. We determine ourselves by the meanings we ascribe to situations."

Well - life is just the same as learning to swim! Do not be afraid of making mistakes, for there is no other way of learning how to live!"
"You can be healed of depression if every day you begin the first thing in the morning to consider how you will bring a real joy to someone else."
