Drugs are very effective, a lot of us have benefited one way or another from them. In fact, some of us wouldn't have been alive or as strong as we are if drugs, both natural and artificial, were not in existence.
However, as powerful and potent as they are, known for curing diseases and relieving the body, not all kinds of sickness can be cured by medications alone.
There are some situations in life that pills and consultation in the hospital can not amend. There are some conditions that need no external substance to cure, but our decisions.
There was a time I was so unhappy, nothing made sense to me because I felt things were not working out.
I hated everything around me, and you know, life, the worst mistake one can make is to hate themselves. Everything else would suddenly stop making sense to you.
You would become frustrated, depressed, and sad for no reason. That was exactly the case with me back then. Sometimes, out of too much worry, I fall sick, I have a headache, feel pains in my chest, suffer from insomnia, and lack the appetite to eat.
I started losing weight, and my mom began to complain. I thought it was a medical condition, I got some drugs and the pains stopped, but I didn't stop losing weight, and I still couldn't eat properly.
It came to a point when I was searching for happiness but couldn't find it.
The whole thing continued until I read a book by Joyce Meyer, “Making Good Habits, Breaking Bad Habits.” One of the good habits she suggested for us to make was “the happy habit.”
She quoted Abraham Lincoln somewhere in the book, “People are happy as they make up their mind to be.” Reading that book marked the beginning of a new chapter in my life.
It made me realize that happiness is a choice and not something we find anywhere; it is beyond emotion, it is a decision.
And attaching it to people or situations, achievements, and so on, may only complicate things and make us not find it eventually.
After this discovery, I decided that I was going to be happy regardless of whatever I am facing and that emotions and circumstances won't decide my happiness, and you know what? Like magic, things turned around in my life.
Whether things work or not, I am grateful and not moved. It made me stronger and better. Things I was worrying about began to work; I understood life better, and I regained my joy and health.
Sometimes, all we need is a piece of useful information and then a burning and decisive zeal to put it to work, and we will find the solution to our situation.
There are a lot of things that we are suffering from, and we have been struggling to find solutions. Sometimes, even spending money on consultation and pills, not knowing that the cure we are looking for is just knowledge and a decision.
Nowadays, any feeling of restlessness makes me look inside. I scan through my life and see where it is coming from and address it immediately.
Some of the sicknesses people suffer from result from simple things going on in their hearts that they refuse to tackle. If only they realized and tackled them the right way, they would have probably had a solution too.
Unless we settle our inner problems by deliberately using our will power to change our approach and actions, no pill in the world, no matter how expensive it is, can solve it.
