Your fears, attitudes, and expectations have likely been your companions for a long time so it will take some effort to change them. The good news is that you have the ability to control your thoughts and beat depression.
Stop comparing yourself - to others and to your successful best
- You may have been thinner, famous, younger, and better at everything you believe in at some point in life. Life maybe unfair in every way; but remember that the best is yet to come and believe in that. Time changes everything for everyone, so let others be happy today, you will get your chance tomorrow. Ignore the haters, forgive their arrogance and let jealousy not surround your judgement.
Change the measure of success
- What is success today; a great job, a happy committed life, stable investments? Relax and concentrate on what you have today. Surely there are others who yearn for what you have, even if it seems little. The fact that you are on Quora, you haven't faced the worst yet! Count your blessings and begin your new journey from there. Don't get compelled to achieve what others term as success. None of us know why we live; we may be preparing for the wrong tests for all you know. Define success on your own terms and continue working on what you want; not what others expect from you.
Action:
What is the least you must do to move forward- do it now! Don't contemplate on whether its the right thing to do. Keep taking baby steps in the direction you wish to move in and rejoice every ounce of success.
The void:
- A sense of "nothing is worth anything" is bound to cross everyone's mind at some or the other stage. If you don't feel the need to continue for yourself, start living for others. Bring happiness to those craving for basic necessities. You will find a new reason to continue your quest.
Find a new hobby. Learning something new and meeting those who share your passion helps you connect better and may also create new opportunities for you. Continue learning something, even if it feels totally unrelated to what you want to do. Steve Jobs & calligraphy is a case in point.
It's not your fault:
Remember that whatever you are going through, might seem like a result of bad choices; but the situation and consequences of your decisions is not because of you. There is a universal energy that is constantly changing as you read this and the tide may change directions tomorrow for all you know. Acknowledge the power of unknown and change your attitude towards failure. Mock it, beat it but never forget to get up if you burn down. It's only a matter of time.
Your failure could be a catalyst for a major change elsewhere. Celebrate them as you are going to value your success that much more!
Don't stop loving:
Spread your love to plants, animals, humankind, God. Anything and you can feel it kill the negative energy within.
Pay it forward:
Help others, even when you may be the one that requires it the most.
Don't expect anything from life, take every breath as a bonus.
