First, it is nearly impossible for some to put their career a little lower on the priority list. It’s like asking them to slow down in the middle of a race. And I believe it would take a whole lot of courage to accept how things would turn out if they do so. I’m glad he was able to calm his soul and come out from the darkness he’d been in! <a href="http://www.kenosiscenter.com/Christian-Counseling-Indianapolis.html" rel="nofollow">-->Russell</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15429072896501826330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207068755581080502.post-71738940173331548722013-03-08T01:09:56.505-08:002013-03-08T01:09:56.505-08:00You have change your point of view.

While trying to change my view point, the original view point surfaces and always put me in trouble. I am trying, still trying. Yes, success ratio is increasing but very slowly.

I also wish more people would talk so openly about depression. <br /><br />It is a horrible disease and whilst I would rather not have anyone suffer it, I am grateful for all it has taught me about myself. I feel that I am more self aware than most people and that this awareness has come because of my depression. <br /><br />Thanks so much for sharing this with us Anita.Rubyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04244660283038325345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207068755581080502.post-12667982124237265652013-02-02T13:59:40.121-08:002013-02-02T13:59:40.121-08:00So true.

I wouldn't wish depression on anyone or want to relive any of it, but my own experience with it - both the suffering and recovery - has shaped who I am, and how I think about life, myself and the world around me. Strangely - and it's a horrible motivation - it can force you to put more thought and effort into your own happiness and peace of mind than you otherwise might have.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02160417634139019482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9207068755581080502.post-20376561000742660232013-02-01T21:29:39.650-08:002013-02-01T21:29:39.650-08:00What great perspective your friend has.

Best of luck.<br /><br />I feel this way about my Ichthyosis - it's afforded me so many opportunities and taught me strength, resilience and not to worry about the small stuff.
