Depression and Suicide are Twins! Take it easy on yourself and others. Don’t push yourself or others into a kona of hopelessness and despair. Speak wisely and warmly. Appreciate one another. Be a good listener slow to answer and quick yo forgive! Be like the Eagle that flies above the clouds of trouble and be like da hummingbird that has a new song every morning regardless of circumstances. Talk. Share. The more you share the more relief..consider these words of the scripture even if you do not subscribe to the faith…
Philippians 4:8 King James Version (KJV)

” Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things “

No wonder, Bob Nesta Marley sung about da ” three little birds! Singing sweet song of melody pure and true… say don’t worry, about a thing ! For every little thing, gonna be alright! ” He, Bob, knew something about birds and worries ! Even Jesus Christ preached about the carefree , birds of the air !
“ Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. · Look at the birds of the air; they do … Mathew 6: 25 -34
We can learn alot from birds!
However, the Chinese have a saying , ” You cannot stop a bird from flying over your head, but you can stop it from making a nest on your hair ! “
This is to say, in life there are things you can stop or influence but others are beyond your powers to change ! Many times we struggle to change things beyond our powers especially in relationships ! Take care and be true to yourself and leave other things to God and others !!!
A simple illustration is this .
You can’t stop me from abusing you , but you can refuse to react negatively to my action by simply ignoring and minding your own goddam business..or put cotton buds to your ears, so to speak !
You will be surprised that this action will hurt the person who abused you more since you have refused to get hurt !
Try it !
Good day n don’t forget to learn from da birds !
Take control …
