Sufrir algo de ansiedad, algo de depresión, alguna decepción e incluso algún fracaso es normal.

Anxiety contaminates the present with the pains of all imaginable futures. We cannot experience the fullness of the moment if we are forever suffering from hypothetical hardships.

The Stoic Emperor

The largest part of what we call personality is determined by how we've opted to defend ourselves against anxiety and sadness.

Alain de Botton

You can't do anything as long as you are afraid of what might happen. No matter what the problem is, we must muster up the courage to face it.
