I hope you don’t mind if I share something that I learned as a result of meditation. The only difference between happiness and depression is a state of mind. You can be in the exact same situation and feel completely differently. You can be walking in a park ignoring the world around you caught up in the darkness of your own thoughts. Or you can be walking in the same park and appreciating the beautiful sun set.

Meditation helped me to open up some space in my mind. Just having space between dark thoughts can give enough time to appreciate the good things in life. And the goal is to widen that space so you can let in more of the good stuff.
