Another fantastic post! Learned so much, and… “You won’t believe how you managed to put up with anything less for so long.” Is that so true! Just wanted to say thanks for another inspiring post! cheers

Patricias last blog post..Stop Packing Your Suitcase

@Patricia have you read “The Element” by Ken Robinson? I think you’d love that book, it really helped me feel more comfortable in my skin and better about my own experiences in school.

@Vin I love that it seems more and more people are opening up to the possibility that there is only one way to lead a respectable life. It really is a nice time to be alive, I think.

@Tim thanks for having me! And thanks for the dead bird question, it’s search engine gold!

@Barbara I’m not generally bored either, even if I’ve nothing to do, there is always something to think about. It’s funny when one of those cynical sorts implies that it’s somewhat simplistic to be content and generally happy, isn’t it?

@MrNuggets I think being actively pursuing your goals is a key part to any depression treatment. Of course, if you are severely depressed medical help including medications might be needed to get you able to start. I am really glad you’re feeling better now.

@Celes That’s true, I think many of us have a hard time figuring out our dreams because we imagine all of these roadblocks that keep us from getting to the visualizing our dream part. So you have to imagine removing the boundaries first before you can imagine the future.

Celes | CelestineChua.coms last blog post..My 25th Birthday! :)

The breakthrough for me came when I realized that if I put action into the things I was passionate about and stopped ruminating on the things that were in my way, hurt, confused, angered or worried me, I could find my passion. And if I found my passion, took action to live it, I just might tame that dark beast of depression. That was a turning point in my struggle.

The points you bring up here, though they may not completely eliminate a difficulty such as depression, DO make a significant impact on its ability to take over one’s life. At least it has for me.

Not to mention that this is just good sense for everyone who wants to do more with their life than just get by.

For me, I had the same exact experience as WriterDad talked about above. I HAD to write, to express what was inside. So, I started my blog. Had no readers. But, that wasn’t the point. I needed to start living again and that was one way to do it.

Thanks for this post, Tracy.

I can’t even remember the last time I was bored. I am constantly adding more to my plate, not only to challenge myself, but to learn more.

I like the idea of writing things down- goals, questions, thoughts, etc. It seems to make my goals more concrete, as well as cement the ideas into my head. It’s like having an intelligent conversation – with myself. :)
