It is hard to deal with feelings of depression. However, it is easy to look back after you overcome it and realize that what seemed like a dead end, at the time, was actually a new road in the making. Feeling like you are at a dead end can make you feel like it is best to stop living. However, today I realize what a mistake it is for anyone to take his or her life. Had I succeeded at taking my own life, I would have deprived myself of experiencing a very gratifying life. Today when I hear that someone has taken his or her own life I feel saddened. Had they waited another day, perhaps they could have seen things differently.
The number one thing that life has to offer is another chance at success for as many times as you might try. You are always given the chance of starting anew. Life does not deny that to anyone. The other great thing that life has to offer is the way up. When you have hit rock bottom, where nothing can’t get worse, you can begin to use everything you learned in your way down to go up and achieve the kind of success you never thought could be possible. Thus, trust me when I say this. If you ever feel like there is nothing to live for, perhaps you failed to understand that sometimes it is necessary to feel the way you feel before you can achieve solid success. All you have to do is give yourself another day. Live to see another day and you may one day understand that the things you learned in your way down are what will guide you in your way up.
