Today is Henry Rollins birthday & I want to send this message out to you again----BE YOURSELF!!! You many not believe it but the best person you can be is YOU! Don't try to be someone else! Don't compare yourself to anyone else. Don't let it bother you that others seem to have it easier than you; focus on yourself and your own life! Remember, as I always say: Empathy is one of the most important skills you need to have to be successful in life- that means empathy for yourself and others. Work hard, care about others around you, be yourself, and you will be successful!!!
Here's a great video from Henry Rollins (an ADHD Dragonfly who suffered from depression and low self-esteem). Henry is a musician, writer, journalist, publisher, actor, radio host, spoken word artist, and activist!
Recently Henry wrote some comments about a parent shouldn't commit suicide after Robin Williams death (Fuck Suicide). I understand these comments! - I understand Henry's point. Many people were upset with Henry and one of my favorite things about him is his ability to accept criticize and his willingness to look at other perspectives (More Thoughts on Suicide). When you are an individual you can have your own opinion and when you have empathy you have the ability to accept that your opinion is just that- yours. Here's Henry....
(FYI he is referring to President Obama in this clip not President Trump but I bet you figured this out)
