You decide.

[secrets22]

No days, weeks or years are promised to us, you DECIDE!, to mark the past as the end of your greatest days and the future as the beginnings of your finest hours.

Or do we meander along with no ambition, no wish to better ourselves and no joy for living.?

Yes we get setbacks and brickbats along the way, but those difficulties often define us and make us stronger, we all have the ability to rise above our troubles ,face them head on and put them to bed, and emerge with a zest for life and ready for the next battle.

The choice is ours.

Yes you are correct Secrets22. But sometimes when you're struggling it can be difficult to look to the future. I'm in that situation presently. All I do is live in the past when I wasn't struggling and wish I were back there. My depression and anxiety get out of control when this happens. I guess I've become stuck in the past and when I realize it's long ago and the present is where I am now. I sometimes wish I would just go to sleep and not wake up. It's just a temporary thought and I don't have any plans to increase the thoughts. Well do you have any advice. Has this ever happened to you. Take care.

hello Audiomarc1........yes i so agree it seems like an impossibility to shift things when plundered into deep depression, like you there are times when i want to be out of this wretched existence , but i have the ability to totally block all thoughts of the past, and the people that have created this discord. I view the past as belonging to someone else and is no longer part of me. Thoughts of dwelling on the past has no substance, its over, finished. I come from a very unpleasant family, and i will not allow them to hinder my wellbeing and as far as i'm concerned they no longer exist, they died a long time ago. Very occasionally if they enter my mind, i stamp those thoughts out of my mind instantly, and you can do the same with perseverance, if at first you dont succeed keep at it and you will pull through.
