The Antidote to Depression
Before we set on a journey to get over depression, Let’s first understand the very reason behind it.
We feel HAPPY when the Events — Situations — Happenings in our life meets the expectations or we get ANGRY about it incase the expectations does not meet, the quantity of being happy/angry is proportional to the intensity of desires.
Expectations are simply desires, yet to be fulfilled.
Any blockage — Any Obstruction to the fulfilment of desires causes Frustration — Anger — Stress.
Depression is also a mental state where we tend to get negative with our Thoughts — Words — Deeds and lose all our self confidence, In worst case scenarios even the Self respect too. All of this because one of the event or situation does not happen the way we want it to be.
In simple terms, Desire goes unfulfilled & Expectations do not meet!
We are humans and it’s very natural to have desires for as long as we are alive.
What is supposed to be changed is our approach towards all that we are seeking relentlessly.
Remember always, The way to reduce Personal misery is to share Universal misery!
Non-Fulfilment of Desire hurts us when these desires are completely driven by the SELF — SELFISH. The moment we remove this self, PROBLEM SORTED!
When we remove this SELF — SELFISH approach from our attitude, Life transforms!
The moment we start growing More Compassionate — More Empathetic — More Loving — More Giving — More Selfless, We gradually start to defeat Depression.
Selfless-ness is the key!
When we are driven by our right intention to love others — share happiness with others without any expectation — without being judgemental towards others — just for the sake of doing good to others — making their lives better — Positivity starts replacing negativity in us. Thus, defeating depression.
Remember, the Law of Karma says, The energy that you are sending out is bound to come back to you. But there are certain rules to it -
- The energy that we are sending out comes to us from the most unexpected people and at most unexpected times.
- We should not be specific for sharing our energies. Love all — Be compassionate for all- Not just to our dear & near ones.
When we help others make their lives better — Share Happiness & Positive emotions — No amount of obstruction can bring us frustration!
Every opportunity is a chance to do something good — irrespective of how big or small the effort or the result is — It is meant to improve someone’s life.
Last but not the least, Never try to control the result — good efforts can only bring the good results sooner or later. Have faith!
There is no other way out!
Stay Happy, Stay Healthy!
