The Sea of Sloth – The Paradox of Depression

The only way to heal depression and deal with loss is by doing the very things we do not feel like doing. Those are the bricks in the new castle that will be what we become.

Everything that we fail to do, is only reinforcement of what we think we currently are. Do not accomplish things because you feel like it. Do it because it must be done. It is what is in front of us.

The paradox of depression is that we do nothing because we do not feel like it. At the same time, we feel like nothing because we are accomplishing nothing.

That’s when we need to stand up with honor, courage, and commitment and do something exceptional, not because we feel like it, but because we know we can and because it must be done. In our pain, we will find our greatest success.

Heavy Metal only bends under the heat and pressure of fire.

Depression and sadness are caused by a focus on the lies the Devil whispers in the darkness of night instead of focusing on the Truth Christ reveals in the light.
