People undergo a lot of experiences in life, and one thing that is common across communities throughout the world is the occurrence of personal problems and trials. Life, after all, is like a wheel, sometimes you are up and sometimes you are down.
There are an unfortunate minority of people that don’t know how to handle lifes many adversities, who don’t know how to cope with life and simply survive with a mediocre interest in their persuits. This learned hopelessness is the reason why many people around the world suffer from depression today, and fail to ultimately be successful people.
It is in fact fairly easy to learn about the ways of how to overcome depression, yet not many people know how to prevent it from occurring in the first instance. Depression is often triggered by the experience of a life changing event. It can be a problem, a loss, or even the experience of stress. Take for instance, a person who is on learning how to become successful in life and striving hard to make success happen. When he/she encounters problems along the way, it is expected that he/she can handle it and not give up too easily. But for some people, particularly those who have an underdeveloped coping mechanism or solid support system, the big problems become impossible to overcome. The resulting failure can be the reason why he/she can get depressed, stay unhappy and unsuccessful.
When a person can cope effectively with problems, there will be no chance for depression to set in and that person is then free to be motivated and strive harder towards the attainment of success.
The point is that if a person wants to be successful in life, he/she should learn how to handle problems and failures effectively. Life is indeed like a wheel that constantly turns. One cannot experience joy all the time – And this is how it should be. Life is after all, a series of both successes and failures. To have the right support network, and mentality is the key to success.
I am starting a new tradition here on my blog to include some of my Favorite Photos of a particular subject, whatever I choose that Friday.
Today I want to celebrate my best friend from high school – Becky. She passed away three years ago on June 13th. She is still very much loved and very much missed. Here are some of my favorites of her.
Loved going to the beach with her.
We attended a church camp together called EFY and we scoped out for any hot boys, like always!
Favorite face EVER! She’s like “WHA??”
All dolled up for a high school dance. Beautiful!
She was good at pool.
We went to our high school Senior year Homecoming dance with our dates in the same group in 1999. Those were the days.
