These feelings are among the most important symptoms of depression, and most people fall into black holes from time to time when you begin to feel that you’re not as good as you should be.
Therapists are not immune from these feelings, either. In fact, when I give workshops for mental health professionals around the US and Canada, it seems that the vast majority of the therapists who attend have struggled with feelings of depression and anxiety.

inFrom The Ideal Made Real
By Christian D. Larson
“When we discern an ideal, that ideal has come within the circle of our own capacity for development, and the power to develop that ideal in ourselves is therefore at hand.

Thus we realize that when an ideal is discerned it is proof positive that we have the power to make it real now.”
Grab the book (free): Various formats from Achive.org*

What are you imagining for yourself right now?
Are you thinking today’s going to be a struggle? Or are you imagining that things are going to be great?
Is it just another battle to be fought today? Or did you smile as you got out of bed, deeply knowing that whatever comes you’re going to greet it with a cheerful attitude?

I came across an article by Deepak Chopra this morning about poll results on the topic of happiness.
What’s unfortunate about the results, particularly the “rise and fall of events,” is that external events seem to be the cause of people’s level of happiness.

inWhy Are Spiritual People Generally Introverts?
By Gregg Prescott, M.S.
According to recent statistics, approximately 75% of the world’s population are extroverts but within the spiritual genre, the numbers are reversed, so why are spiritual people generally introverts?
I took an informal poll on personality types by asking spiritual people to participate in taking the Myers-Briggs Personality Test, which is a series of questions that tells you your personality type. As it turned out, over 90% of the participants are introverts which makes sense, because introverts tend to look within for answers.
