Every human may experience a degree of depression and / or unhappiness at some point in their life. These feelings are actually essential to our experience in the natural world – they are what our mind chooses to do with that pain which separates us into someone who will experience suffering or someone who will experience growth.
By implementing the proper mindset, the darkest parts of yourself will play the biggest role in your personal growth and progression. Rather than thinking of your depression or unhappy state as a ‘bad thing,’ if you choose to think of it as an essential lesson in learning to understand yourself and the world around you, you will now perceive your adversity from a growth perspective. This may break you free from the illusion or belief that suffering and depression must exist together. This exercise flips your mind into a more positive state and may allow you to find knowledge in the most mysterious parts of yourself.
