The mind is the difference between the poor and the rich. The heart of a person is the real person. The heart which can also be called the subconscious mind or the spirit of a man is the real man. One thing the spirit of a man does is to search out everything that's done under heaven and make available for that man his or her own part. God wants us to solve problems in this world, that's the reason we were birthed in the first place. In Ecclesiastes 1:13
"And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith"
When the heart is not searching or seeking solutions to the problems of life, humans get complecent and tends to do things in the ways of mediocrity. At the same time, when the heart seeks and doesn't find answers, the minds tends to be weak. This is where depression set in. As humans, there are so many things we are seeking solutions to, but no matter how well and how long we seek, sometimes the answers seems to eludes us. What are the reason for this and how can we find answers to most situations in our lives. When we find answers, we tends to be happy , healthy and grateful. But when the answers are not forthcoming, anxiety , sorrow and depression set in, how can we stay on the positive lanes of life so that we don't get washed away by the negatives emotions.
The reason I am writing this post on steemit is to shed more light on what we already know before.
The first antidote of depression is to subscribe to the leading of the creator. He's the master guidance . He will save you from a lot of frustrating journey in life. He knows the beginning from the end. He knows you, your weakness and your strength, when you surrender to Him, be rest assured you are in a safe hands. When He leads, there is no way you will be depressed because in His presence is fullness of joy. He's the shepherd, you can not want and depression mostly is as a result of what we need fulfilled and what we want. Let His presence be with you and depression will disappear.
The number two antidote is the rigth use of our senses. What you see and hears has the power to change your World. We have two gateway into our lives. They are the eyes and the ears. What you see and hears consistently will enter your life. Our heart is our life, these two gateway are linked directly into the heart, whatever enter the heart has enters into our lives. It's thereby very important to examine who and what we listen to, then what we see. There is a wall in our heart that always seeks to attracts things into our life, anything written on this wall is what will manifest in real life. In the book of Philippians 4:6-7, it says
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
[7] And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Our heart which is the subconscious mind is a fertile land that can grow anything. It depends on what you plant in there. If you plant anxiety and other negative emotions, there's no escape from depression but when you stand your ground inspite of all the challenges and you meditate on the word of life, pray, supplicate and give thanks to God, you will reap peace that you yourself can not understand. The creator gave us two eyes and ears but do you know He also give us two mouth. We only see one mouth showing because He wants us to listen and see as twice as we speaks. For example, there is a little problem in your office and everybody shifting the blame to you, you migth be hurt. You are hearing and seeing all these things and you want to react. Do you know the first thing to do is to commune with your heart. Your heart is your second mouth. Your heart speaks, it's what's laid in the heart that's always come out of the mouth. From today, know that you have two mouth, dont use one. Let's always think deep before we speak.we can use all the senses to arrange our thoughts. Remember, be anxious for nothing.
The number three is to avoid wrong association. Anyone that has your ears has your life. You must be at the rigth place at the rigth time
We create success, peace,breakthrough and every other good things with our mind, so anybody that has access to our mind have the access to either make us happy or sad. Let choose carefully who we spends our time with.
