Here are several quotes of wisdom by **David Viscott**, the American psychiatrist, author, and radio talk show host, known for his work on emotional honesty, mental health, and personal fulfillment:
—
**1.** “The purpose of life is to discover your gift. The meaning of life is to give your gift away.”
> This quote reflects Viscott’s belief that fulfillment comes from both *self-discovery* and *generosity*. It emphasizes living with purpose through contribution.
—
**2.** “You must begin to think of yourself as becoming the person you want to be.”
> A call to proactive self-identity. Change begins with how you *frame yourself in your own mind*.
—
**3.** “If you could get up the courage to begin, you have the courage to succeed.”
> A reminder that starting something difficult often contains the seed of success. *Initiation itself is a sign of strength.*
—
**4.** “To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides.”
> A poetic expression of mutual love—when it’s *given and received*, life becomes richer and warmer.
—
**5.** “The truth is that you can’t get what you want until you know what you want.”
> Clarity is power. Without naming your desires, it’s impossible to pursue them with purpose.
—
**6.** “You don’t have to control your thoughts. You just have to stop letting them control you.”
> A foundational idea in emotional and cognitive health. Awareness of your thoughts creates *inner freedom*.
