Congratulations on your own progress. That is true. One.of my favorite Buddhist proverbs goes a little bit like "Allow emotions and thoughts into your home but dont invite them for a cup of tea" I always try to remind myself of it when I'm down

Don't show me frogs and snakes
And listen for my scream,
If I'm afraid at all
It's only in my dreams.

I've got a magic charm
That I keep up my sleeve
I can walk the ocean floor
And never have to breathe.

Life doesn't frighten me at all
Not at all
Not at all.

Life doesn't frighten me at all.

Maya Angelou
