It’s a good question. It’s also a question a lot of people are asking themselves these days. Why am I depressed?

I speak from experience when I say I know there are a lot of different factors that causes depression.  From finances to loss of a loved one, health issues, stress, relationships… this list is very long.

I also know the best think you can do is to find the cause of your depression so you can accept that fact and try to face it.

Why am I Depressed?

You can start by asking yourself this question!  Dig deep when your trying to figure it out.  It’s best to sit down with a pen and paper and start writing down everything that is bothering you.  After you get a list of everything that is bothering you then you can start to work on all the problems one by one.  BUT!!!! Remember that even though it may seem rough right now, it will get better! I promise you that! I know it may seem like your falling into a hole and you can’t stop, but when you hit rock bottom…. the only way to go is up!  So… Lets take a look into the different reasons you may be depressed… (more…)

“Raise Your Umbrella” because even when you believe it to be a “Beautiful day” the rain can still fall!!

I AM NOT TELLING YOU TO BUILD INVISIBLE WALLS AROUND YOURSELF!!

Because, that is not good even if it does keep you from feeling some pain. As cheesy as it may sound, in this situation, “Pain is Your Friend”!!

If you have been hurt in the past by an “ex-boyfriend” or an “ex-girlfriend”(husband,wife,or whoever) and you put a wall up to try and prevent having the same thing happen twice then your blocking yourself from who you really are!

I like to explain it like this…

I compare life to the “outdoors”, if you love the “outdoors” type stuff (ie camping, hiking, bonfires, and all this fun stuff) you will understand more (I believe).

When you face “issues” or “rain” as I like to call it. Its ok to raise your umbrella and still witness the rain. But running inside and ignoring the fact that it is raining, just takes away from being “outside”!

“Look at life as it is” Tony Robbins has said this many different times. “Don’t make it worse than it is and don’t make it better than it is”

I hope I made sense to you in this one because it is a serious topic…

“A Curse Or A Gift” How do you look at life?

When things go wrong…Do you look at is as a Curse or a Gift?

Whatever your aspect on things is, its what makes your life the way it is, in how you live. Now I’m sure you can find something better to do than to sit here and read about my past but I think this calls for “Story Time“..lol!!!

I promise I’ll try to make this as quick as possible(painless too! lol).

When I was in the service(U.S. Navy) I was faced with problems that I looked at as a Curse and in all honesty I looked at life, sometimes, as a Curse overall!!  Doing this only made my life worse day in and day out!

Then I was introduced to “Tony Robbins” and “Jim Rohn”.  Oh, and lets not forget “Miguel Curl” (My Rich Dad), the one who changed my outlook on life and my life overall.  Between talking to “Mr Curl” and listening to hundreds of “Self-Help Audio Seminars” I learned to look at everything in life as a Gift!

Small Problems are actually lessons in the school of life.  Just like high school and even all the way back to kindergarden each lesson is taught because once you learn from it, it will make your life better and easier!  Thats why, even problems, can be a Gift!

So think about if you take life as “A Curse Or A Gift” and if you need to now is the perfect time to change!!
