"Nothing" is Easy

It is much easier to do nothing than to try.  Many times we sit in complacency and wonder why our circumstance has not changed.  We wait for that moment when something good will happen that could snap you out of whatever you are going through.  However that moment may never materialize if you dont move from where you are.  Change is a difficult thing to experience but sometimes it is exactly what is needed to over the obstacle that you face in your day to day life.  We think that waiting on a change is the best strategy but in all actuality moving towards a change can be the best solution.  If you say to yourself that today is the day that I am going to do something about my future than you will begin to see the change within yourself.  Why let the chains of nothing stop you from becoming free and happy?  Why let the burdens of today dampen your tomorrow?  We cannot predict the future, we cannot see what is going to happen to us from day to day.  Your depression is never going to get better by sitting around and wishing that it does.  We can wish all day long that things will begin to become brighter but how do you ever expect things to change if you don't put in some sort of effort.  Listen, it does not have to be a tremendous amount of effort put into changing, but any step is better than where you may be right now.  I believe that everyone can get out of the situation that you are facing now.  Over the past weekend there was a huge boxing match, now I am not a fan of boxing but there was a gentleman by the name of Tyson Fury.  Honestly I did not know who he was before this weekend sadly.  Tyson was overweight and dealing with depression, anxiety and other barriers.  He decided that he was no longer going to be that person and he started to make a change.  He overcame one of the biggest battles of his life and went on to fight a top contender.  During the fight he was knocked down and many people thought that that was the end for him.  However he got up and won the fight.  HE GOT UP AND WON THE FIGHT.  Get up and win that fight you face.  Yes you will be knocked down, sometimes it may be on a daily basis, but if you just get up you can see that nothing is impossible.

For today, don't just do nothing.  Do something that betters you.  Make strides to overcome that battle that faces you each day.  We are nothing if we don't at least try to better ourselves.  Take time today to think about something small that you can accomplish and work towards that goal.  Believe in yourself that you can overcome anything in this world.  We are not meant to just be stagnant where we are, we are meant to flourish.  "Your troubles will cease and your future will smile upon you".  Take whatever strength you can muster and start trying.  Don't give up because it is easy, keep moving.

From the Outside

Have you ever heard the phrase: "from the outside everything may look fine", or some other variation.  Many times I feel that people only see what they want to on the outside and not get to know the person you really are.  I know that times I really feel judged and like an outsider but once you get to know me your opinion may change.  However in today's society it is much easier to keep to yourself and not be put in situations where people may get to know you.  A lot of times when I am around certain groups of people, I immediately feel like I am being judged as the weird person or the quiet one.  Many times I have been told that I am too quite and for me that is a defense that I set up for myself.  I often times struggle with small talk and will just end up saying something really awkward...  It happens for often than not, even with people that I know.  Lord knows I hate it when that happens, I tend to think about it the rest of the day and kick...

Be A Man

Many times I wonder what I can write about that would be uplifting to someone who battles the same things that I do.  A lot of times I want to repeat what I have already written and it is tough coming up with something new to say.  I feel like a lot of times we always hear "oh be a man" or "You'll be fine".  But a lot of times it is tougher than expected to do what others give you advice about.  I find that mental health in individuals who has anxiety and depression is important to me and I don't want you to just "be a man" or "you'll be ok", I truly want you to be ok with who you are and what this journey has taught you.  I was recently trying to explain what anxiety was to me and I found it tough.  I found it tough to express what exactly it is that I feel on a given day.  It was a struggle to explain the emotions that I feel when I have entered into a public place or am put into a situation where I know that I have to face my demo...

Believing is Seeing

"I'll give you everything that I've got left, follow you down and give you my last breath".  ~ Gideon. Many times I struggle with self worth and thinking that I am not up to anyone's standards.  Recently an opportunity has presented itself to me and I can't seem to get out of my own way.  I feel as if I am not good enough to do this new challenge, I feel like I can't live up to the expectation that has been set forth.  I seem myself as less than everyone and that is a serious struggle for me and really is the cause of most of my depression and anxieties.  I often times when in a group setting, think that people are looking at me like I am weird or something to that effect.  I feel as if people see me in a different light than who I truly am.  Once you get to know me, I promise it is worth your time :).  I am an introvert who doesn't like crowds or speaking to new people, but lately I have been trying to push past those barriers.  I recentl...
