Sometimes I do not know how to get past my depression. Sure I can view my life and give all kind of reasons why but that does not help me. Somehow I need to chip away at it. I just don’t know where to start. I know things don’t make me happy. It is not possessions that keep me going. The things that are wrong in my life money can’t change. It is hard listening to your ‘”tiny voice” when it is being drowned out by depression. I just don’t know where to start. Somehow I need to figure out what I really have any control of. And start there. Working on at (???) those things. One by one. That is all I can do. And in the process accept the things that are out of my control. I have a plan. I just don’t know when the depression will start to lift. It is just painful enduring it.

I have been struggling for a number of weeks with depression. I decided I would be more careful with certain things that were in my control particularly the TV I watched and the music I listened to.
I would be more careful with those two things. Both of them I had control of. I just had to exert it. Too much of the TV I watched revolved around mayhem and murder and the music I listened to was simply not very edifying.
I certainly can avoid both. It would take awhile but I was acting as if I had no control of my moods and was a victim.
Let me see what happens if I become more careful of the TV programs I watched as well as the music I took in.
What if I played music and TV that was more edifying? Maybe my depression would lift or my moods would improve. It certainly was worth trying.
And I imagine if I looked at my life more carefully there would be other things that were more in my control but I will start off with these two things.

If you want to cheat death act as if it does not matter. Live each day fully. Have no regrets when you call it a day. Act as if this day would have been your last.
If you want to cheat death, do not be concerned about the dying. Be concerned that you do God’s will and know not one person can tell you which path to take.
If you want to cheat death be concerned about the present. Do not live in the past or the future. Live the life you have today.
Don’t be afraid of the things you have no control of but seize the control of things you do. If you want to cheat death let no one tell you this is the correct path. Love each person God puts in your life.
If you want to cheat death live fully in the moment, savor each moment. Do not be afraid.
