Take action in the year of 2006!
As I went back to my hometown for the holiday's I saw many of my
loved ones. This made me feel very happy except; for one old
pal. This person really worried me. It seems to me like this
person is depress and sad. However, this is not the only time
that I have seen this person feeling this way. In fact, he has
incorporated complaining in to his daily routine. A conversation
with him is often unpleasant due to his ability to only see the
negative aspect of everything, which to me; this is barely
living since the negativity has taken a toll on his physical
appearance and personality.
I could not help but feel a mixture of emotions when I saw him;
I felt helplessness, sadness, and anger. The helplessness I felt
it because standing in front of me was a live person that forgot
to take things lightly and live the best way he could and worst
of all I can not help anyone that does not want to help
themselves. The sadness I felt it because I care for him. The
anger I felt it because here he was complaining once again but I
do not see him trying to change his life around. Which is
exactly what I want to emphasize in this column?
If for some reason you are unhappy or unsatisfied with your life
or a certain aspect of it. Why don't you try to change things?
Don't cross your arms thinking about your bad luck or other
negative issues. It is a waste of time. Yes, when you make
mistakes it is okay to look back and ask yourself and even maybe
others what you did wrong. But, do not think or complain about
the problems forever. Also, avoid blaming others or
circumstances for your problems (finding a scapegoat).
Instead, TAKE ACTION to switch your life around. Set goals and
follow them. Learn how to plan and keep yourself motivated on
your path to success. Forget about all the negativity and focus
on the possibilities. If you have been depressed for a long term
then I would suggest you seek professional help. This will help
you cope with grief or depression. Who knows your life might
become positive after all.
Cheers, to a Happy New Year!
