When something happens to you, learn to ask yourself what else could the experience mean apart from the pain? Your failure and negative experiences may look like the issue but then you can decide not to allow it to affect you by how you interpret it One of the causes of depression is expectations that are not real Depression is the number 2 killer disease in the world based on recent statistics Depression does not mean weakness or the sadness you feel when you lose someone for example because those things show that you have emotions and compassion. The main problem is when that sadness or low state becomes a continuous and consistent habit and lifestyle where you are always sad, feeling low, feeling like you're not enough, nobody likes you or you can't make it. Proverbs 12:25
