How to advance and leave the past behind
it's a strange time we're living
in
right now we're people from the
countries that have the most
feel like
they have the least people that
live in
countries that have the most
reason to
be happy
seem to have the least amount of
happiness why is this is it
comparison
comparing ourselves to everyone
who has
more in this social media world
we live
in never feeling enough because
another
will always be better in some
area
comparison is the thief of joy
never
compare yourself to others it
doesn't
matter how great you are if you
are not
grateful for who you are and
what you
have you'll never be happy
there's
always going to be someone who
has more
money than you there will always
be
someone doing better than you
someone
fitter than you better-looking
than you
if you are always comparing
yourself
you'll always lose one thing
other
people will never have over you
they are
not you your greatest asset is
that you
are unique and when you are free
to be
exactly as you are that's the
greatest
way to live the less you care
the
happier you
unhappiness and depression comes
when
you focus on what you don't have
instead
if we appreciate what we do have
and
focus on where we do want to be
we can
feel better almost instantly
appreciation and gratitude is
the single
most powerful way out of
depression or
any low states you cannot feel
both deep
gratitude and negativity at the
same
time if you can you're not
feeling the
gratitude you might be saying
you're
grateful but you couldn't be
feeling it
because science shows that
gratitude and
depression do not go together
another important principle that
helps
many who suffer with depression
and
anxieties is this
they are almost certainly in
every case
not depressed or suffering with
anxiety
a hundred percent of the time
they have
a selective depression selective
anxiety
there are moments even if they
are brief
of laughter of feeling hopeful
about the
future
brief moments of happiness of
connection
with others brief moments of
love and
feeling good it's certainly not
a
conscious selection rather
something
that comes about with triggers
and from
a lifetime of conditioned
thoughts I can
only be happy if X Y & Z
occurs in my
life
having basics like I can
only be happy if
will always ensure unhappiness
because
life always throws challenges
and
obstacles your way keeping this
in mind
you then can understand on an
intellectual level that
depression and
anxiety does not have to be
permanent
you can figure out why you feel
down by
learning about how your brain
works how
your mind works and you'll direct it to
something that feels much better
long-term comparison is another
big
issue especially these days with
the
increase in social media and the
amazing
revelation of filters filters
that make
you look like a supermodel in
one swipe
but also the filters many apply
to their
lives like exaggerating
everything in
their life to make themselves
look
bigger and better and leaving
out all
the negative things that are
really
causing them pain the happiest
people on
earth do not compare themselves
to
others ever they run their own
race and
they are happy for all others to
run
theirs
in their own time and their own
way
happy people don't have the best
of
everything they make the best of
everything
things will never work out as
planned
this is life not a movie how you
reply to how things work out will determine
the quality of your life let me
ask you
this do you believe
there has ever in the history of
this
world lived a human that was
depressed
beyond measure in a world of
suffering
but still somehow managed to
turn it
around and create a life not
only
amazing to him but envied by
others of
course there has the truth is
the pain
you feel when you are depressed
is
coming from your thoughts about
your
current life situation or
situations not
the events but your thoughts
about the
events change your thoughts and
you
change your life use the pain
for a
greater benefit the key
principle in
overcoming unhappiness of
depression is
not to focus on the depression
that's
what most people do and the
reason it
never goes away
instead you should focus on
where you
want to be focus on the feelings
you
want to feel focus on the person
you
want to become and work towards
doing
the things that you must do to
become
that person
feel how you would feel if
everything in
your life fell into place one of
the
fastest ways out of depression
is to
create a compelling future a
greater
purpose for your life if you are
genuinely excited for your
future you
can't be miserable now and you
can let
go of anything that is in the
past the
thing that keeps one going is
having a
sense of fear
the thing that tears us down is
not
having one set meaningful goals
that get
you working towards something
that
excites you don't be attached to
outcomes or gaining of material
things
but get excited about who you
will
become how you will develop and
who you
will be able to help as a result
of you
creating this amazing life for
yourself
who will benefit from you living
a
happier life who will benefit
from you
being the example for others
