You are not your work. You are so much more. Stay strong. _________________________________________________________ Edit: Fred Wilson speaks more eloquently here: http://avc.com/2014/01/you-are-not-your-work/
Not trying to criticize here, but i've never cared for the term "stay strong" it's like telling someone who's depressed to "just be happy". I get the sentiment though, just something about the phrase that irks me i guess.
Just as most people aren't depressed and thus can influence their own happiness and can take responsibility for their own emotions (depression is a disease which robs a person of this control), I believe most of us are responsible for our willpower and strength.
Through meditation, or reflection, or any number of ways, we can center ourselves, we can strengthen ourselves, we can be better.
I understand that if you have a disease like depression you cannot take control of your happiness, but that doesn't absolve the rest of us of our responsibility for both mental health and physical health.
Just as we work out our bodies we must "work out" our minds, and stay strong is a message to the 95% of us who have control of ourselves to stay on our path to mental and physical health and the benefits it provides.
