About Me
We all have a passion in life. We must allow ourselves to reach out, to risk, to take a chance and go after that which makes us light up our child-like eyes and truly see the world as our playground of experience. Where there is pain, there is also freedom from pain. We must open our hearts and minds to all that is around us and believe that someone will come into our life to guide us to our fearless destiny, our passion, to our true authentic self.

Hi Asana, Welcome to Daily Strength. I really like your "About Me" section. To find ones passion is a dream come true. How do I find mine. Seems that I've always helped others find theirs but never got around to mine! By the way, what's yours? Anyway, just wanted to say HI and welcome. I'm David if you want to write back I'd like that. Take care, david

Close Anxiety
You name it, I have it. Have had PTSD, GAD, and OCD since I was young. Overcame anxiety and panic attacks myself and am doing well combating anxiety these days. I'm here to help others who can use a shoulder to lean on. Hope you don't mind if I lean back every now and then :)

Open Stress Management
