Mike Wallace, the well known 60 Minutes correspondent died over the weekend of Saturday June 9,2012. He was 93. He retired only a few years ago.
Mike Wallace dealt with mental illness. He had three major depressions. He thought of suicide. Mental illness never defined him. I doubt If many people knew about it even though he talked about it.
Mental illness is not a barrier to success. I sometimes think that it was in my darkest moments that I learned the most about myself and about compassion.
Never let yourself be a victim of mental illness. It is a waste of time.
Accept the person you become. Make life changes that make it possible for you to live your best life. Think of people like Mike Wallace. Reach for the moon.
