No 1 The good thing about mistakes is that you can learn more from them, than any success.

No 2 Enjoy what you,ve got in life be satisfied and appreciate your being here now, instead of chasing after this, that and the other. Be here now.

No 3 If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money cant buy.

No 4 We are not human beings on a a spiritual journey. We are spiritual beings on a human journey.

No 5 Wot do you think, Change your thinking and change your world, mentally.

I feel like this makes me think we need to remember the soul before the body. The pearl that is in our shell.

Well Gerrerd I still think you are on the wrong website. This is for people with depression, anxiety, PTSD, etc., I am coming out of a foul depression/anxiety/agoraphobia attack, w panic. I do NOT think Oh Poor Me. I think what is it going to take Mod. Medicine to sort out our complicated brains. When hell gets loose in my head, I think of very little. Other thoughts, I would like to lie down and go to sleep permanently. When my brain is functioning then the lovely pictures you send pop in my brain. The Spiritual teachings put the words in my mind. You say you have suffered from clinical depression for 40 + years, I doubt it, one cannot maintain bright and cheery when in "Hell". Quit trying to behave like a prophet, get real, people who come here are HURTING. Obviously from my words I am still in some pain and confusion, so do not waste my time as I will not read you any more. Sprinkle 1

You may be right. If you want i will give you permission to see my medical records. This is true. Give me a private message and i will put you in contact with my DR . I have started to come up against some negative people. And consider what you say walk away and leave you to it. This nearly happend today. But i just checked my replies. there was 40 positive and 3 negative. So i must be doing something right i am sorry if i get up your nose. But i once reacted like you because its very hard to find a way out when you are in a very bad place. When you feel better, reed my posts And i pray you may see them differently. If enough people tell me to stop trying to help i will. I assure you i have been in hell many times i have tried suicide once or twice but failed wich turned out to be a blessing. But these things i am saying kept me alive, I dont prey a lot but tonight i will pray for you with all my heart . Thanks for teaching me something today (That you cant help people to change if they dont want to) God bless you and help you.

Oh Gerrard be assured your posts do help me. But I guess one size doesn't fit all.l suppose l am most definitely a positive thinker. I am lucky in that because a lot of people don't like me.

They don't have a concrete reason for doing so. Perhaps it is because l am a bit socially awkward, yet I am friendly. My friendliness is also misunderstood.

The mistreatment I suffered at my last job could have driven me into a deep depression. But I held onto hope. Your quotes and pics are full of hope. They are encouraging. I think positivity is surely usually a good thing. It can drag us out of the mire.

This site as well as other sites kept the hope in me and built me up.

Thank you Gerrard. I'm sure you are well aware that when we help each other we also help ourselves.

I am so glad you decided not to leave us. I'm glad you recognise that you lift up most of our spirits with your posts, rock on Gerrard.

Thanks, I've been going through a difficult period lately, your reply has just lifted my spirits. 👍

You lift our spirits every day. We all have those icky times. Just emerged from 2 weeks of feeling a bit off.

If people criticize Gerrerd, l think it's a fact that you can't please all of the people all of the time.

I have read all your posts and know they are well intentioned. I just think sometimes that by stating the obvious you can imply it is so easy which can make others feel inadequate when they are so far down that they cannot rise to the challenge.

People that find fault with what i say are the ones who need it most. But remember i am talking about mind control . if i can do it so can you , I am not perfect, I still struggle with my mind. But i tell it i am in control shut up do as i say. For many, many years it told me what do, remember this has been going on for 63 years. And i am still learning. I could just leave this forum and carry on with my life now i have got some control. And enjoy my retirement. But i am spending hours a day, looking. Knowledge to give to people in your situation. All i ask look to were i am pointing dont bite my finger off. I am getting nothing out of this

I had read your profile and I fully understand your motivational messages. It is just that some on the other side of the tunnel as it were find them hard to follow as I am sure you will acknowledge.

I am just trying to give a balanced view.

forestina I thank you for listening to me,I just want to say one last thing on the subject then i will shut up. You said when people are in a bad place. Its hard to understand what i am saying or have the motivation, to act on it. which is true i have been there. But things always change that you can be certain about. When they feel better it may be medicate they need, this also happened to me. Come to think of it every thing happened to me in depression. They read my posts understand them and say i will try that, And be able to manage their illness better. My ideas cant replace a doctors advice always check with them first. On feelings were does a feeling come from? This is what i believe i may be wrong, as i often am. But i try, A feeling starts with a thought. Everything starts with a thought. Even you started with a thought , Your parents thought lets have ... and here you are. LOTS OF LOVE. your humble servant Ray.
