I want you to know that, no matter where you are in life, no matter how low you have sunk, no matter how bleak your situation … this is not the end.

This is not the end of your story. This is not the final chapter of your life.

It may be hard right now but if you just hang in there, stick it out, stay for a little while …

You will find, that this tough moment will pass, and, if you are committed to using this pain, using it to build your character, finding a greater meaning for the pain.

You will find that, in time, you can turn your life around, and help others going through the same struggles.

The World right now is in the middle of a mental health crisis.

It is estimated almost half the population suffers from depression at some stage throughout their life.

Rather than join the cue, it is important you learn why you get down, and then how you can change it.

Because you create your own negative feelings and you can also ensure that you turn your life around and be a positive change for others.

The reason anyone gets depressed always comes down to the consistent thoughts you think, and the consistent beliefs you hold.

If you believe you are fat, horrible, ugly and unworthy of Love, you will most likely become depressed or have depression thoughts.

You have lost something outside of your control, or do not have something that is out of your control: a lost a job, relationship break downs or non existence, body image, comparison to others.

In school you are taught how to get a job, but no one teaches you how to live in a state of happiness.

No one teaches you how important your conscious and unconscious thoughts and associations are. Is your happiness not worth more than a job? Yes it is.

And before you say, happiness will not pay my bills – happiness will pay your bills, when you realize you will be 10 times more energized, focused and take positive action in your life.

When you first choose to develop yourself as a priority, and then get to all the stuff of the World.

Some people, who many would consider to have it all end their life because they thought they were not good enough.

A thought, a belief within them told them they were not worthy. These people that many were jealous of, many envious of, were not good enough.

You must value yourself enough, to take the time everyt single day to work on you. To engage in something, that will ensure you are a positive influence on the World.

This of course does not mean life will suddenly be perfect.

The same life-challenges will show up, but if your mind is strong, if you mind is at peace, your reaction to the challenging times will be very different.

Your reaction will be ‘How can I make this work’, not ‘Why is this happening to me’.

And then others will look to you, not with pity but with hope, because your strength will become their hope, their strength.

You really can be that powerful. You can ditch the victim story, you can leave the pain behind and focus on how you will react next. How you will react positively.

Read. Read all you can read to get your mind in a positive place.

Take steps to ensure you will be in a better position next time – whatever pain you are suffering – how can you ensure it will not show again – Take little steps … and soon you will be at the top of the stair case.

Do not give up. Do never give up. You are worthy. You are more than worthy!
