Ok this is gonna be a pretty long post…
So I have some advice and positive messages for all of you, but it’s gonna take me a little while to explain and I’m gonna have to explain a bit about my own experiences so bear with me…
Lately I’ve learned a lot of lessons in my own journey to self improvement. I feel like in a way I’ve sort of had an epiphany of how I can overcome any challenges and create a better life and new opportunities for myself, this epiphany has helped me massively I feel like I’m finally gaining confidence and slowly opening up new opportunities, but I really want to be able to share this epiphany and mindset I have with others because it’s helped me so much and it could really help them, but it’s so difficult to get it through to people and I can’t seem to get people to understand it, I just wish I could magically give it to people but I can’t, but I’ll try to get it through in words in this post…
Anyway the epiphany I had is…
The first step to recovery from depression and bad things is you need to be kind to yourself and forgive yourself and have a sense of self worth, you feel a hell of a lot better when you start doing that and when you start doing this your mindset will become more positive and you’ll start seeing opportunities more and have the confidence to take them, once you have confidence in yourself everything will slowly start falling into place, I know this is easier said than done but you deserve to be treated nicely, it doesn’t matter if you’ve made mistakes in the past, every human alive makes mistakes and its ok, see them as an opportunity to learn, and sure you may have done something embarrassing in the past but every human being does embarrassing stuff, and the people who saw it probably forgot about it, even if not they probably didn’t really care, your a good person, and as long as your a good person then there’s nothing to worry about, so look after yourself, treat yourself like you would do a friend or loved one 😁. Another helpful thing I learned… when your depressed and going through hard times and things seem hopeless, there still is hope and opportunities for things to get better, but when your in a negative mindset you either don’t see it or are to scared to take the opportunities, I went through this myself, I was stuck and didn’t know what to do, but there where little things I could do to make things just a bit better and slowly work my way out of the mess I was in, but I was very scared to do them which made me think they weren’t a possibility and I was basically creating my own barriers, once I started facing my fears and doing these things things started to get a little better and I started to feel better, so my point is in dark times we tend to create our own barriers, I’m not saying it’s easy or there’s opportunities everywhere or what people have been through isn’t really tough, honestly what some people have to go through is horrible and I’m sorry to anyone who’s going through anything like that, what I’m trying to say is in dark times even when we feel really bad theres still an opportunity or a little glimmer of hope somewhere, but unfortunately because hard times and depression puts us in a bad mindset it’s hard to see that, once you see it however it’s amazing, again facing fear is easier said than done but heres the best way to do it, just think to yourself that a decision made from fear is pretty much always gonna be the wrong decision, and that fear is holding you back from reaching your potential and having a better life, and you have a mission to do thats more important than fear that you can’t let the fear stop you doing, also every human alive has courage and the ability to go against our fear and primal instincts and do things despite fear, it’s what gives humans free will, and the more you face fears the stronger this courage becomes, but to feed this courage you gotta start and continue to face fears, think of it as if you have a raging bull inside to that can defeat fear, but to make it stronger you gotta keep feeding it by facing fears, and one more thing about fear, you’ll occasionally have bad moments facing it, but there only moments not years or anything, so pick yourself up and keep facing your fears and striving forward and achieving things. You have a fiery courage in you that you don’t even know you have and you can and will unlock it. And probably the most important thing I’ve learned, as long as your determined and keep striving forward in life then life will always be engaging, you’ll overcome any challenge and achieve what you want, I know it sounds cliché but even from a logical point of view this works because someone with a fiery determination to achieve what they want who is always striving forward fighting through setbacks and adapting to new situations refusing to give up is gonna inevitably achieve what they want and find happiness because they take the opportunities for it no matter what and create even more opportunities by doing that, and their also gonna find life engaging because their always finding a way to move forward, and even if something life changing happened to them they’d still find a way to adapt and find happiness. The best way to unlock this determined drive is to have faith, simply have faith that you can do it and that there is still hope, I’ve explained that logically it will work so you can have faith in it and that it’ll work when you do it, and any sort of faith in good or in hope or anything will give you that drive to achieve, I personally have a belief system that good and evil are both energies of the universe and are equal, so it means we gotta accept bad things are just a part of life but it also means evil can’t get rid of good no matter how hard it tries because good is equal, I sort of like to think evil likes to make itself look big and scary and stronger than good, but good just gets fed up of it and punches evil in the face and evil gets scared and goes back to normal size, and this cycle eternally repeats, basically good keeps evil in check, if you think about it it makes sense, it’s how humanity has survived so long despite all the perils and bad things, anyway this belief that theres hope and good people and it physically can and will win gives me the drive to always strive forward and the faith that some day I will achieve what I want, basically my point is if you have some sort of faith you’ll unlock a determined drive, and even if your not religious and are skeptical you can simply have faith in the fact that if your determined and strive forward you will inevitably achieve what you want, and even if the hope your clinging onto seems like a fools hope still cling onto it, because it’ll give you drive and determination which means you will achieve, then it won’t be a fools hope, a fools hope is actually a really powerful thing because it gives you a determined drive and if enough people in the world have a fools hope we can make a difference, because never underestimate the power of fools in large groups. And one final thing, enjoy the moment, when you have such a determination and a desire to achieve things you can tend to get caught up in the future and not live in the present, I’m guilty of doing this all the time, so often just take a moment to appreciate nice things you have right now, like a good book or TV show, or something fun you did or are going to do, anything like that really, it’s the little things in life like that that really matter and make life worth living, so every now and again just take some time to make the most of the present, I know times are dark but there are still little good things to appreciate.
So basically the main take aways from this are
-The first step to recovery is to be kind and forgive yourself and heal yourself
-Recognise the barriers your putting up and the fears stopping you from achieving things and challenge them
-Have drive and determination through faith and belief in yourself and you WILL achieve what you want and you’ll find life engaging
-Enjoy the present moment, it’s what really matters
Those are the things I realised in my epiphany, and when I realised these things they all clicked and made sense to me, but unfortunately it’s difficult to share this with others and get them to have the same epiphany, which is really hard because I know people would be so much happier if they understood these things, I almost feel like I had a blessing but I can’t share this blessing with others, if I had to choose one superpower it would be to give this epiphany to others, sorry if this sounds arrogant, its not supposed to and it genuinely comes from a place of love, I hope you understand the things I was trying to explain and taken reassurance from it
Wow that was long! Sorry, I just have so much in my head I wanted to get into this post (I’m probably gonna think of even more I wanted to say after I’ve posted this), also sorry if it’s badly worded, because I’m trying to get so much out my head and my brains going about 100 miles an hour I can write things quite clumsily 😅
Anyway that was my positive message, thank you so much for reading! I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, I know this time of year is very hard for a lot of people but nevertheless I still wish each and every one of you happiness, hope and enjoyment, stay strong, keep your faith in good and hope because there is always good and hope and good people in the world and evil can never change that, and when the new year comes unlock the true courage and determination thats inside you and keep it burning brightly and don’t let anyone or anything extinguish it, and grab life by its horns and make 2025 your year, you have 100% got this I believe in you! 💪
