Sharing My Triumph Over Grief and Despair
Embrace Now The Better, Happier Life Awaiting You
The enemies of tomorrow are your disappointed yesterdays. Griefs and depressions are defeated by the strength of your heart, and the logic of your mind. Light up your will of fire, and their light shall shine on you to empower your own life creation; and the vision and beauty of your unfolding tomorrows as your mind’s eyes lose sight of past yesterdays shall retain only joyful memories of love, and the loving memories of joy.
Tomorrow is not a mirage of your yester-years. The imposters of grief and depression keep your mind addicted to your sad sweet yesterdays, deluding you that your tomorrows are just their extension. Your triumphant victory begins by killing the twin imposters of grief and depression. No more excuses; make changes.
“When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.” — Viktor Frankl (1905–1997) in “Man’s Search for Meaning” (2nd ed, Beacon Press, 1947).
PROLOGUE
The end was inevitable. I always knew the outcome. Enough is enough. This must end. My grief and depression must be engaged and confronted; and I shall prevail. Losing is not an option. Survival is not compulsory, but highly desirable. A better and much happier life beckons and awaits on the other side of my grief and depression.
The pain was insufferable. The loss, unbearable, and the grief was profoundly immobilizing. The betrayal was unforgivable. The misunderstanding too deep into the bone. The injustice must be revenged. The revenge must be perfectly executed. The love must be reciprocated. Your efforts must be appreciated, and rewarded. People should see your talented genius. We deserve a 2nd, 3rd and just another chance. Those who did me wrong should have others do them wrong too! I deserve happiness and joy. Yes, you are entitled to them! Such bitterness feeds the insatiable appetite of grief and depression, denying you triumph and survival that would embolden and empower thriving. Their absence postpones your tomorrow.
My triumphant journey overcoming the trauma of grief and depression was humbling and empowering. The insightful wisdom reveals that it is an integral part and parcel of life; and should be embraced. Life’s awakening journey never truly ends. Its reward is the emboldening magnificence along the enlightening journey with its challenges and prospects. Our lives are further enriched as we exchange and share the lessons and insights of our varied experience.
TEARS OF TRIMPHANT VICTORY
Tears of victory fill rivers of joy;
Tears of hope, that a better tomorrow arrived to enjoin;
Tears of happiness, that your dreams shall become real;
Tears of pride, of victory within your palm;
Tears of fear, of tomorrow’s certain uncertainties;
Tears of confidence, from newfound belief in yourself;
Tears of anger, over past depression, angst, and wasted grief;
Tears of sadness, over lost opportunities;
Tears of triumphant joy,
Celebrating the return of joyous music in the soul.
Discover new pathways and fresh challenges
And unimaginable opportunities;
As you embark on fresh journeys to the other side,
Opening doors to unexplored opportunities.
Banished are tomorrow’s inevitability
Of broken hearts and shattered dreams
Of unrequited love and promises unfulfilled
Of disappointments and pain
Of lies and more true lies
Of elusive happiness
Of dreamy mirages of joy
Of betrayal and misplaced trust
Of fake and toxic friends
Triumphant victory at last. The answer was in me all these times. All I needed was to reach out deep inside and claimed it for myself. The imposters of grief and depression are gone now, never to return. I have shut the doors on them. Cleansed my life. Uncluttered my mind, and embraced humility. The world changes, because I have. True wisdom is this — Change your Mind to Change your Life to Change your Tomorrow. Victory and triumph are forever mine, now.
