LIVING ABOVE DEPRESSION
AsIBeganToDiscoverMyself
Depression is a choice and not a feeling.
You know, life has every reason to bring us down. But we still have more reasons to get back up.
Remember that being depressed is a choice, its not just an everyday feeling.
Coldness for instance is a feeling and not a choice. We don't decide whether to be cold or not. When its winter or harmattan or rainy season, we experience cold naturally.
But DEPRESSION is not like that. Its not a feeling, its not compulsory, its not essential. We have the choice to make whether to be depressed or not.
Depression makes one feel lonely in a world full of friends, unworthy, inferior, unloved, unhappy, unfulfilled and irrelevant whereas within the person is beauty, love, friendliness, greatness, success and uniqueness.
Depression ties us down to our bed while we should be out working hard.
Depression restricts us to our comfort zones while we are meant to reach out to people.
Depression limits our ideas and thinking whereas we have unlimited grace.
Depression is not meant for you, its not meant for me, its not meant for anyone.
You are talented, you are loved, you are cool, you are funny, your works are nice, your efforts are worth it.
You might have issues with friendships, relationships, trust, love, failure, your temperament, being an introvert and other stuffs but they are not worth keeping you depressed.
Sometimes we just have to motivate our way past depression.
Don't feel bad again. Stand up and get back to work ..
Now say to yourself:
"I CAN'T BE DEPRESSED,
I CAN'T BE SUPPRESSED,
I CAN'T BE DISTRESSED,
I AM STRONG!!"
God bless you.
