A lot of people are facing a loss of HOPE.  With unemployment at an all time high, and the number of medically uninsured skyrocketing through the heavens, what is left for some of those wounded on the battlefield? Now, many are fighting the perils of mental health, particularly depression. This monster called depression is strong and ugly. Many may ask the question: “What can be done once hope is lost”? The answer lies within each of us.

We now have to reach back and grab the ingredients provided by our fore fathers. Of course, if your crisis is overwhelming and you don’t know how to maneuver through the storm, seek-out medical help.  You must take mental illness serious. It can be deadly. However, many of you have a system of fortitude, resilience and faith that keeps you alive. Depression is nasty, but FAITH is stronger. Remember it ain’t over until the fat lady sings. In this instance, she is not even on the stage yet.

Turn to your internal Fortitude and fight. Let Resilience be your mantra and always, yes always, keep FAITH  alive. You can definitely make it because you have got “IT” in you! There comes a time in life when a person has to fight. Don’t let depression take control. Your time has come and is here now. Take no hostages, gird-up, strap it on. It is NOW time to fight. Yes re-invent yourself, go back to school, come-out of that abusive relationship and I mean immediately! The hope that you think you’ve lost, lies within you.
