Just like we need healthy food, clean water, sound sleep and solid relationships, we REQUIRE challenges; problems to be faced and overcome! That’s one of the reasons why some troubled people create their own problems. Of course, I’m not suggesting that you create your own, because there’s plenty to be faced without putting in a request, but I am suggesting that instead of resorting to anxiety, depression or avoidance that you simply engage the struggle and respect the process!

Although depression is frequently treated with prescribed drugs, because it’s thought to be a genetically based chemical imbalance, this scientific conclusion has never been proven in the lab; although it’s heavily marketed by companies that stand to make a huge profit. In the majority of cases, what’s thought to be a chemical imbalance, is simply negative and pessimistic thinking that has led to our depression. Quit “Depressing” in other words. How we view and think about ourselves and the world is the problem here, not our genetics and certainly not our brain chemistry! Change your thinking; become more optimistic, live with a mindset of growth and temporary setbacks that can be overcome with effort, find courage to face yourself and the world as it is, work to improve who and what you are, and in the process, you will change your life!
