At
times we find ourselves amidst situations from where the solutions seem
to be at a far end.  The problems seem to be like white ants that feed
on our life and keep reducing our age by depression.
I am no expert who can talk about life, problems or depression… but have a little experience…
As
the second’s hand of the clock ‘tick ticks’ (moves) we stand in front
of some undesirable situations. Every little thing that we have to do
becomes a cause worry.

Competition, peer pressure, status, or
taste, whatever is the situation, we start worrying about them. We
don’t wish to face unfavourable situations. We avoid every little
problem and have the desire to breathe only fresh air. It is not just
adults who worry about things or get depressed at times of distress.
Even kids have a tough time taking decisions and are in a worried state
of mind when they are subjected to competitions etc. Here I remember a
few lines from a song from the film ‘Rangeela’. The lines are by kids-
“chocolate khane mei tension hai, doodh peene mei tension hai, tension…
tension…. Tension…”.

Depression or anxiety is not the solution
to any problem. When LIFE has been bestowed on us we must face every
challenge as part of it. A lot has been said and researched about the
depression among people. Those who are a little strong show signs of
depression and those who are weak at heart, succumb to depression. They
commit suicide and try to liberate themselves of all the worldly
reservations. Even adolescents, who are unable to come up to the
expectations of their parents, are inclined towards this colossal step.
As the world is transcending towards a cataclysmic change, the level of
satisfaction among the masses is diminishing. We wish to achieve
success in one day. We wish to outshine our competitor without putting
in great labour.

For a moment, just imagine,

Your life is full of happiness…
You have no worries…
Everything is as immaculate as you dream …
You have the resources and you are capable of taming them…
Your mind is at rest all the time.…

Now, your first instinct is … ha! What a wonderful dream…!

Lets turn court….

How boring and monotonous life would be if things happen according to your desires?
What would you do if there is no competition or peer pressure?
What would be the essence of life if there were no stumbling blocks?

If
life is dull without difficulties then why worry and get depressed
with  the difficulties? They are a part of life and one must build a
strong will power to face every situation in life. A positive desire to
win would let you overcome even the worst conditions. Tame your mind
and body to face every situation with strength and might. If you fail
once, try again. Failure certifies your experience. Take lessons from
your failures and try to reach your destination without repeating the
mistakes.

One has to just believe in oneself and have a positive attitude
