Stephen Hawking's Advice on Depression

In 2016, Stephen Hawking spoke in a lecture:

"The message of this lecture is that black holes ain't as black as they are painted. They are not the eternal prisons they were once thought."

"Things can get out of a black hold both on the outside and possibly to another universe. So if you feel you are in a black hole, don't give up - there's a way out."

When Stephen Hawking was diagnosed with his motor neuron disease in 1963, they told him he had another 2 years left to live. He lived for another 55 years.

Their list features are great because when one task is completed rather than deleting it, they cross it out and move it to the bottom of the list, so you can visualize the completion of the task.

"Note to Self: A Collection of Thoughts on Life" was featured in its first news article, by Khaas Baat. Check it out below: "In this debut book, Tampa native and University of South Florida graduate Cheryl Cherian has put together some ramblings and random thoughts on essential life topics such as forgiveness, friends and foes, grief, kindness, identity, positive vibes, relationships, struggles, happiness, etc. “Most of these were little pieces of observations or advice to myself, which in a way were my inspiration,” she notes. Well, the notes could also be motivational for the reader. While admitting that forgiveness can be challenging, she writes, “… it’s what I strive for, for my own peace of mind … Most importantly however, we have to learn to forgive ourselves. Sometimes we are our own greatest critic.” On struggles in life: “Whatever might be your obstacle in life right now, if you challenge yourselves to overcome it, I guarantee that you can meet the countless
