Sadness
Most of us have plenty of reasons to be sad now and then. When our inner situation is such, it is crucial to search for a way out of the sadness by occupying ourselves with something that will have a strong hold on our mind and soul and will also give us good feelings and thoughts.
When feeling weak and sad it is wise to expose oneself to positive communication with those who are stimulating and cheerful. Disappointment with our situation and interactions with others, are of course worthy projects that we have to resolve and work through meticulously, if possible. We should not let disappointment drag us down to an abyss of despair and fear of the life we have to live. With enough effort it is possible to be happy and warm on the inside; if we want to and long for such well being sincerely and decisively.
There is nothing in our inner life so twisted or complicated that it can’t be dealt with, using definite actions, if we truly want to. A temporary uncheerful disposition towards life and other people can easily cause us great problems if we don’t train ourselves to deal with it correctly. It is of course normal for healthy people to experience periods of hopelessness, especially when people can’t accomplish their goals, are rejected or loose someone.
All human experience is multi-dimensional and complex; being made out of sadness as much as happiness. The better we know ourselves the better our chances to defeat our unhappiness. We should make a habit out of being generally happy and grateful in most situations and avoid letting temporary troubles crush us and make us sad. Sadness is not an undefeatable situation. Therefore it is important that when we are down, we try to focus mainly on behaviour and thoughts that will increase our believe in better and just feelings. Optimism is favourable in a fragile situation, especially if we find it joyless or unacceptable.
Where there is a will there is a way and we can control our disposition towards anything that happens to us. It goes without saying that it’s best to be determined to choose to react to difficulty by believing that it serves a purpose, instead of letting it make us sad and silent. Those of us who want to, can also change our attitude towards the things that we can not control and make us feel hopeless and sad. We can do that by being encouraging and positive towards ourselves and others, whatever our situation may be.
The best solution is to change sadness and depression to happiness and optimism. That kind of disposition makes it easier for us to enjoy that which is most precious to us and that is life; even though we sometimes shamefully forget that fact.
