POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS
Affirmations and Encouraging Inspirations
The use of positive and personal affirmations, words of encouragement, and spiritual inspirations all play a part in lifting people out of the quagmire of depression and self doubt. Times of self doubt can leave us feeling hopeless,helpless and at a very low ebb in our lives as we grapple with the fundamental questions of life such as Who am I? What am I here for? And what difference can I make if any?
Life has many twists and turns and at times when ones motivation, libido and esteem reach an all time low we become most vulnerable to self destruction and suicidal ideologies. One of the most crippling of all is that one feels so much alone even when others that love and care are around.
Of all human beings on the third rock from the sun (earth) I am most to be pitied. These all add to the false assumption that all is meaningless and hopeless. Staying in this frame of mind is a destructive and debilitating place to be and there seems little that can be done to help however anything that helps is worth it. It is during these times that myself and others have found that positive and encouraging lyrics of music and song, poems and sentence gems and bible exhortations have made a difference.The sages of the present and past have commented concisely on every possible subject and with words of wisdom have inexplicably hit the point of truth. When we lay hold of the truth the confusion of the moment starts to evaporate and hope starts to spring eternal.In the following few pages are exerts of these expressed sentiments that have lifted myself and others out of the depths and quagmire to a higher level of dwelling and experience where we can again experience the joy of living.
