Joseph Prince Quotes

My anxieties have anxieties.

The worst bullies you will ever encounter in your life are your own thoughts.

Almost all our suffering is the product of our thoughts. We spend nearly every moment of our lives lost in thought, and hostage to the character of those thoughts. You can break this spell, but it takes training just like it takes training to defend yourself against a physical assault.

Depression is something I've dealt with every day of my life.

If I knew what I was so anxious about, I wouldn't be so anxious.

I have a lot of health anxiety.

Every day there's a lot of things I block out, because if I start visualising things, I tend to go completely insane.
