In order for you to start something, whatever it is: open a daycare center, write a book, build a website, go to college, discover the cure for cancer, create world peace – you have to do something really important. Know what it is?

A Basic Coping Strategy for Survivors of Bipolar Disorder

There are many ways that I’ve tried to cope with having bipolar disorder, as I’m sure you have as well.

To accept the things I cannot change
The courage to change the things I can
And the wisdom to know the difference.

It doesn’t matter whether you are “religious” or not, the prayer still works.
