BIG QUESTIONS
Asking yourself the right questions can change your life, argues this piece---and it makes sense.  I include a couple of excellent queries:
"Is this what I want to be doing?
This very moment is, always, the only moment in which you can make changes. Knowing which changes are best for you comes, always, from assessing what you feel. Ask yourself many times every day if you like what you're doing. If the answer is no, start noticing what you'd prefer. Thus begins the revolution.
Why worry?
These two words, considered sincerely, can radically reconfigure the landscape of your mind. Worry rarely leads to positive action; it's just painful, useless fear about hypothetical events, which scuttles happiness rather than ensuring it. Some psychologists say that by focusing on gratitude, we can shut down the part of the brain that worries. It actually works!"

There's actually 20 different questions in the article, all of them thought-provoking; so read the whole thing.

One principle those of us with Moebius Syndrome will agree on in answering any question:  life IS worth living, and can be glorious, no matter what kind of physical and facial difference we have.

"Everyone chases after happiness, not noticing that happiness is
right at their heels." -Bertolt Brecht
