Depression Can Happen

Have you ever had a dream that you thought was out of reach?  Have you ever felt that you were not good enough to accomplish that dream?  Have you witnessed other people around you accomplishing great things and you are stuck where you are?  Fear not!  Your dreams have been given to you for a purpose of accomplishing them.  Think back to when you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up- A doctor? A lawyer? A Veterinarian?  Now look at yourself and what are you doing now?  Where was the dream lost?  Have you accomplished what you set out to do?  If you have set out and accomplished that dream, what steps did you take to make sure that you accomplished all that you wanted to be? I was sitting in my office one day and I was trying to figure out a direction for myself and all of a sudden the thought of HTML popped into my head (thank you god).  I did not know the first thing about making a website or how it was structured or anything regarding web development.  I thought to

There have been times in life where we feel less that what we truly are.  When you open your eyes in the morning, you have been given a gift.  The gift of a new day, and with that new day comes the promise that better days are ahead of you.  We often times get lost in what we feel and do not realize that our emotions have an effect on those around us.  Many times recently I have found myself down and have had it rub off on my family.  I know that my mood can dictate the way the day will go and I am trying to keep a more humble and uplifting spirit about myself.  However have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror and wonder how you have ended up where you are today?  Many times we look in the mirror and do not like what we see.  I know that at times the face looking back at you is not who you thought you would be, but it is where you are and it is important to remember that the current face looking back at you can change.  You do not have to live with the struggle that you have fac

Stay for those who care.... I recently heard that in a song lyric (once again music speaks volumes for me) and it got me thinking. How many of us have just let go and have given in?

But what so you gain from letting go? Nothing really, you no longer get to be part of a world that yes at times is filled with darkness but there are still many bright spots to be proud of.  Many of you who read this may think to yourself that what do I know about the struggle of every day or what struggle you face, but I am here to tell you that if you stay for those who care, you will start to see the world in a new light,
