Greetings dear hivers and friends . Hope your week was a positive and productive one, and the weekend just came so soon again. And even while we could not achieve all we hoped for, may be for this week or some days gone, we can as well believe to continue from where we stopped from in due course. This thought is the vibe for the unforseen circumstances of life.
My week was a stressful one with work, family and a few other things I needed to give time to, but still sometimes it's not how hard we have to work or the efforts we put in things that will make them come through. Thinking it through the thoughts of how life does not give to us what we envisaged, or the dreams we keep hoping for through wishes, I totally analysed life as a struggle where we need to make up our mind to defeat the weight of Depression.
WHY DEPRESSION ?
Because when we keep putting and pushing with every zeal that is in us, hoping to turn things around but seeing that everything seemingly looks unfruitful, our minds will begin to suffer setbacks, unmotivated, lack of interest to associate, introverted, cloudy moods. All these are the first signs of Depression. But to keep it simple and stay moving, just like Albert Einstein quoted that "Life is like riding a bicycle, to keep your balance, you must keep moving " , so we must decide within ourselves if we want to be brought down or keep our heads up to keep balance.
I ran into a friend of mine during this working week who after our university years was not able to find a good job, managing the ones that came through struggles, and later after many years started a business of her own she told me of how every effort to keep the business afloat is not yielding positivity. Looking at her and listening from the tone that sounds depressed, I invited her for a cup of tea and this gave her the time and trust to present things to me the way they are. Her husband lost his job for months now so the burden of family and every expenses is on her through the business she is running. She went ahead to tell me of how she is battling with depression.
This is the journey of life I made her to understand. We do not see it coming until it arrives. It is in our hands to plan how we want things to turn out for us, believing and hoping, but fate, destiny, uncertainties, unforseen and other circumstances of life are not in our hands. This also is why we must always be prepared, expecting that things and the future can be good or even turn out bad. Being rich today does not mean we can not end up in poverty tomorrow, and being poor today vise- versa. I made her to understand more of how being depressed can not solve the problems at hand. All she needed is the fight of defeat. Standing up to face every challenge by keeping her head up and not backing down. "Many has told the stories of overcoming "
In conclusion, taking challenges in life is not an easy task, but who will do it for us? It's either we stand up to face our problems, fighting with every energy to defeat or we go down loosing the balance of moving ahead and ending up in depression . "Thoughtful Thinking"
Thanks for stopping and reading through friends. Lots of hugs 馃挏
Enjoy your weekend.
