We can’t get enough of the epic views 🏔 Denali National Park in #Alaska #FindYourPark

When our intentions toward others are good, we find that any feelings of anxiety or insecurity we may have are greatly reduced. We experience a liberation from our habitual preoccupation with self and paradoxically, this gives rise to strong feelings of confidence.

No matter from where or how you view Denali, it's an unforgettable experience -- but from the Wonder Lake Campground, it's truly awe-inspiring. (NPS Photo/Tim Rains) #SundaySerenity #Denali #Alaska #mountains #TheHighOne #MomentOfZen

As human beings we need to assess whether anger has any value - it destroys our peace of mind. Compassion, on the other hand, brings optimism and hope.
