The most famous Winston Churchill quote about never giving up is: “Never give in, never give in, never, never, never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.” This quote was delivered in a speech at Harrow School on October 29th, 1941, during World War II. It became a rallying cry for Britain and a timeless source of inspiration. New Happiness Podcast episode with Dr. Robert Puff, Newport Beach Psychologist

Mental Pain as Urgent as Physical Pain We're trained to recognize physical pain. A broken bone, a deep cut –these demand immediate attention. But what about the pain that isn't visible? The ache of depression, the sharp sting of anxiety, the relentless throb of unhealed trauma? We've been conditioned to ignore these wounds of the mind, to tell ourselves to "toughen up" or "just get over it." This needs to change. Mental pain is not a sign of weakness. It's a signal, just as vital as the alarm bells of physical injury. Our psychological struggles are our mind's desperate way of telling us that something is deeply wrong. Just like we wouldn't ignore a bleeding wound, we cannot ignore the cries of a wounded spirit. Dismissing emotional pain can lead to severe consequences - worsening mental health, strained relationships, and even the tragic potential of self-harm or suicide. By recognizing mental pain as the urgent call for help it truly is, we take the first step towards healing and creating healthier, more resilient lives.
