Freedom is both a blessing and a curse. We get the opportunity to choose, but we have to make choices. Anxiety comes in when procrastinate and avoid making choices.

Humans are not wired to be happy, but we do have the brain power to find beauty in the ugliest places. Unfortunately, it's just easier to be sad or angry than it is to be grateful and humble.

Painting by quote by famed psychoanalyst Carl Jung

Fritz Perls is one of the originators of Gestalt Therapy
