What would you tell somone who has gone through a lot of traumatic experiences which has ruined his life? What would you tell somone who's dooomed to live in poverty and can afford to fulfill his basic needs?

I believe that history does not dictate destiny. The past can only control you if you live within it. Life is all about choices and where you go from here is based on the decisions you make from here on out The easiest thing to do is nothing. The question is how hard are you willing to work and what price are you willing to pay to improve the quality of your life? I dont believe that any situation is ever permanent, but I do believe that people make it that way through inaction.

[successcoachjohn]

So what's stopping you from writting a new chapter in your life? One filled with happiness, joy, accomplishment, and passion. I believe that we control our destiny and future and that it all begins with making a decision. The decision to not let what has happened to us, control us. It not what happens to us in this world that matters, it's what we do about it that counts. Don't allow negative language of thought to control and shape your world. Take back control I know you can.

What if a person never could decide what their purpose was? I can think of things I like to do, but I never really had a purpose. Because of the way I was raised & because of necessity, my focus in life was finding a good man and raising a family with him. But now (although nothing's perfect) I have that. But I still don't feel happy.

[successcoachjohn]

I think finding a person to spend your life with and raising a family is just part of life. Being a parent can and will give your life some purpose but it will not always make your life complete. Many times we try to accomplish the goals and ideologies of others and misplace or forget about our own goals and dreams. When this happens we find our life unfulfilling and empty. I believe that you need to rediscover your own dreams and goals and pursue them. Do something for yourself.

It seems ironic to me that when he says that it is the "time to accomplish greatness" there is a police siren in the background. Obviously someone's time to accomplish greatness has gone wrong.

sorry, this just didn't help at all

What you just told me in about 15 minutes, took me four years of thinking (I just recently understood and learned these steps, but not in this kind of way). I think you did a great job explaining in a positive, inspirational and a very straight forward way to those who have hard times.... Keep up the good work. These 15 minutes was the greatest this year so far.

Oh yeah? Well, what about tramatic experiences which have ruined your life and which are still ongoing and don't seem to have an end? Then what? Wouldn't that be considered a "rational" depression?

[Monstermack40]

I have Jesus Christ as My Lord and savior. how can I work with that in dealing with depression?

[filcox]

Well done. Makes lots of sense.
