![“So the best thing is to really work on yourself and opening your own heart and just letting all that stuff [worrying] go. And it is possible. It's sometimes takes a lot of time; it's not easy. And a lot of sitting with yourself and trying to work with your own heart.” quote by Alice Walker](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/b99/alice-walker-347_best-things_so-the-best-thing-is-to-really-work-on-y_616889.jpg)
