Everybody goes through depressive phases from time to time.
Anxiety and depression are present, yet they affect some of us more than others. I can thus state with confidence that depression is a good thing for us since it indicates that we are squandering our lives away at home, playing computer games, or watching TV shows or movies.
Depression brings forth a dark aspect to our lives: we become more apathetic and anxious, fight frequently over trivial issues with practically everyone, and harbor unfounded hatred toward the majority of people. Simply expressed, we are not living life as it should be.
Humans are social creatures that are compelled by passion and adventure.
We enjoy socializing, going out with friends, hosting parties, attending concerts, and other events.
Life is supposed to be experienced in the uncharted and undiscovered. When people pursue their passions, take on challenges and ambitions, explore and discover, and travel extensively, they feel more alive, essentially trying new things and always getting better at anything they set their minds to.
Enjoy the breeze on your face, take on the task you've been meaning to do for a while (set priorities to accomplish this, don't deceive yourself), travel if you've always wanted to, meet new people, form friendships, fall in love again, be sincere, take a daily stroll and smell the flowers—in other words, do whatever you want to do without fear—for it is not fear that shapes who we are as people or the challenges and goals that propel us forward.
The simplest thing we can observe is that, as an evolutionary species, we have improved over the course of 3000 years. If we remain in one place for an extended period of time, we will not be able to achieve our goals. We ultimately pass away, if not in a mental, spiritual, or bodily sense.
Our internal contentment and tranquility rely on the continuous change and development we bring about in our day-to-day existence.
To clarify the point I've been making on this subject, ask yourself when was the last time you overcame a long-standing fear by doing something you were afraid to do. Or ask yourself if pursuing your passion, even in the face of financial setbacks, brought you a satisfying sense of joy and fulfillment.
Each of us has a great deal of self-awareness and contains the solutions to many of our questions. All we need to do is have the courage and determination to look within.
