Most people think that the opposite of depression is
happiness, and thus they try to find things to make them happy. But you can
have all kinds of things that make you happy and still feel depressed or blue. The
irony of this fact is that it increases the depression in people who know they
have everything to be happy about yet feel down in the dumps. In addition, you
can have all kinds of unhappy, depressing events going on in your life and
still be happy. It isn’t the events or the pleasures or the things in life that
cause us to be depressed.
So if happiness isn’t the opposite of depression what is? The
answer is vitality. When we feel down in the dumps we have lost our vitality
for living. We lack vigor and enthusiasm and motivation to do anything. We go
through our days feeling numb and haunted by a feeling that there must be more
to life. While this lack of vigor and enthusiasm can happen because of physical
reasons, just as often it happens because of the way we think.
The GOOD NEWS! is that there are ways to revitalize your
life.
The dictionary defines vitalize
as “to give life or energy to something.” And that’s what Hearken Institute is all about—vitalizing
your life, your relationships, and your business helping you change the way you
think.
Life is meant to be enjoyed, not endured!
