How to Stop Depression in Its Tracks

Every time I catch myself getting frustrated or feeling negative, I remind myself just how lucky we truly are.

The fact that we’re alive is nothing short of a miracle. Think about it: last night, you could’ve had a heart attack, fallen asleep, and never woken up. Gone. Just like that. Life is fragile, and yet, we often take it for granted.

Or consider someone in their 20s who loses a leg in an accident. Can you imagine that they would KILL just to be able to walk again for a day or two? To feel the ground beneath their feet, or to run, to experience the freedom that we sometimes don’t even think about. We can run, jump, and move without even thinking twice, and yet, we rarely stop to appreciate it.

Now think about the 90-year-old millionaire, nearing the end of their life. They’ve spent a lifetime accumulating wealth, yet they have only a few years left. Don’t you think they’d trade ALL their millions just for the chance to be 25 again, to relive their youth, to have more time?

We are so incredibly fortunate, and yet, it’s easy to forget. We go through the motions, stressed about the little things, without realizing how much we actually have. Let’s take a moment to acknowledge it—our health, our time, our ability to move, to live fully. It’s easy to overlook, but we’re living a life that many would trade everything for. Never forget how lucky you are.
