Impacts of frustration and depression on purpose is what this post addresses. This topic has become so important in view of the rising profile of depression either due to, or lack of misguided purpose.
LIVING ON THE EDGE
Depression is dangerous because victims keep living on the edge most of the time. Such people have lost the zeal and motivation to keep up let alone being happy; the world has become so hazy to them.
Failed efforts at getting better which leaves no hope in sight, has led them to grumble inwardly wishing the agony could just or magically go away forever but waking up next day with same problems, i.e., if ever slept, they get drifted the more into hopelessness and perplexity.
Lot’s of victims of depression have tried different solutions of drugs, psychotherapy or even both to no avail. When efforts to secure solution repeatedly fails, victims tend to become predisposed to aggression, isolation and cutting especially the young but generally and in severe cases, suicide contemplation could manifest.
Understanding the circumstances that can induce or predispose to depression is very invaluable to finding a solution. Our environment is filled with tons of such ugly predisposing circumstances including unhappy marriages and jobs that drain energy with little or no time for self.
OTHER FACTORS
Other factors include twisted relationships, academic pressure, peer pressure, failed expectations, divorce, separations, loss of a loved one, desire to conform with the society, terrible financial status as well as mistakes due to less fancied choices etc.
Whatever the reason for depression, there’s always a helpful but often neglected common ground for transformation. The few that discover and connect to this ground usually become living testimonies of transformation.
PURPOSELESSNESS
Here, we address some of the impacts of purpose on frustration and depression. Purposeless living is one of the most common triggers to frustration leading to depression among adults and young adults in particular.
You see, no one here is alive by accident or mistake, we are all creatures of purpose. This knowledge is one of the greatest lessons every parent must bequeath their children or wards. If today’s parents can discover the purpose and guide their children along positive inclinations and our generation becomes adequately sensitized, then depression index can reduce by over 40% in the next 5-10 years.
While it’s important to condition the mind of the upcoming generation, today’s generation struggling with depression still have a choice to make -a choice to either continue on that track or get reconnected to the source that’s capable of providing basic guides to win depression.
THINKING OF WAYS TO OVERCOME DEPRESSION, HERE ARE POWERFUL STRATEGIES
There’s always an unseen but prolonged disconnect when a person lacking in purpose eventually gets into depression. Unconsciously, the human mind is in constant search for fulfillment but can ignorantly over look the engine room or data base where the answers to our quests are stored up; little wonder the bible says “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge:..” Hosea 4:6.
UNDERSTANDING PURPOSE
“Until one connects to the source of purpose, happiness and fulfillment will always appear to be an illusion”
It’s important to realize that purpose is not what you make up or build, it doesn’t depend on you rather it’s what you discover. This means that purpose is already crafted for everyone even before arrival to earth. But unfortunately most people don’t get to discover this truth which make them live in disconnect from the very source of purpose.
Making impact or providing value to humanity, satisfaction and happiness are indications of purposeful living; to live otherwise amounts to living in frustration and depression.
Those who don’t know their purpose tend to become envious, and fight not just others but themselves too, an attitude that can gradually get them deep into anxiety, frustration and eventual depression.
Don’t forget that having all the money isn’t a measure of purposefulness and neither is it a guarantee for happiness nor fulfillment, and that explains why someone can have all the money plus what it can buy but still feel like ending his or her life.
We don’t live for nothing, the value of life is proportionate to its purpose of existence. When we discover and are providing such value, we don’t ask to be rewarded because no one can reward us enough.
