Hello Dear Friends

Greetings to all ! I hope you're all doing well. I'm Afifa Noor, and today I'm excited to share a a story with you all. I really liked the Weekly Expedition Concept from the Steem Kids & Parents community, as it saves me the hassle of thinking too much. I can share my content daily, and since today is Thursday, I am sharing an inspirational story about 'How we can change our thoughts and overcome depression'.

A young man, about 30 years old, came to an old man in a village the old man was a wise and insightful individual, and the villagers would often seek him out for guidance and solutions to their various problems, so young man shared his troubles, saying, 'I'm so fed up with life, I feel like I've lost all hope.'

The old man listened and asked, 'What do you know about happiness and sadness? What makes you happy or sad?' The young man thought and replied, 'When I have a lot of money, I'm happy. When I'm with my family and friends, I'm happy. But when I'm in financial trouble or things don't go my way, I become sad and depressed.'

The old man smiled and said, 'You don't understand the true meaning of happiness and sadness. True happiness comes from within, not from external circumstances. Happiness originates from a person's inner well-being .' The young man was confused but continued to listen But the young man asked, 'How can I possibly be happy when everything is going so wrong in my life?'"

The old man advised him to change his perspective, focus on what he has, and not worry about what's lacking. He said, 'Some people focus on solutions, not problems. They don't let difficulties overwhelm them.' The old man's final words were, 'Nothing in life is permanent. Just like the seasons change, our circumstances also change. If you understand this reality and live in the present moment, you'll find peace and happiness.'

The young man understood and began to change his thoughts, focusing on the positive aspects of his life. He realized that he has the power to control his thoughts and emotions and started living a happier life.🤗

The moral of the story is that true happiness and peace come from within, and are not dependent on external circumstances. By changing our perspective and focusing on what we have, rather than what's lacking, we can overcome depression and find happiness. Additionally, the story highlights the importance of living in the present moment and understanding that life's circumstances are constantly changing. By adopting a positive mindset and focusing on solutions rather than problems, we can take control of our thoughts and emotions and live a more fulfilling life.
