Without Rhyme or Reason Dr. Carlos Gerardo Quijada

It is important to learn to move towards well-being and away from distress. To recognize the factors that harm us and move away from them, and to recognize the factors that heal us and move towards them.

This understanding, that we are mind, body, soul, and family, is the first part of the puzzle. It's the first part of the answer to the question we’re trying to tackle: What is mental health?

I reflect on the importance and benefits of cultivating an attitude of gratitude. Being grateful does us good.

What forgiveness is not. To forgive is not to deny the seriousness of the offense. To forgive is not to forget. Forgiveness is not a sentimental act. Forgiveness is not about the other person.

Having resentment is like carrying dead weight. This weight tires us more and more, the more we carry it.  And this resentment also infects us and turns us into zombies. Then we become like the walking dead infecting everybody and everything around us. 
But we have an antidote and it’s called forgiveness.
