The first section is the First Principle and Foundation from St. Ignatius' Spiritual Exercises. The second part is a list of truths that I use to help me counter depression. I found this meditation helpful. There is nothing sacred about it, so feel free to adapt and rewrite it to suit your own taste and temperament.
First Principle and Foundation

they keep me from attaining my end.
