Kicking Depression in the Ass

Today I mention were I get my spiritual strength. Out of every thing that I have learned from years of seeking Gods will Christ is the answer. I rely on him with all my heart every day and it gives me a scene of peace that use to be unattainable on a constant path. The only reason that I mention this today is because it is the most important piece of having a great life here on earth. I can not find anything more important than seeking Gods will first. I am enjoying my life more today than ever before.

I continually find purpose by broad casting the message of hope for those that suffer which includes my self at times. Knowledge is key to finding new truths that help me to build myself up when I fall down. That is the joy, I need and not to stay down ,and can spring back up when necessary. I was told that depression is a gift. I talk about this more in my book "Kicking depression in the ass" subtitle "The Rocky road to Recovery" by Scott Coons which is on Amazon. The true gift is that it is a wake up call . When there is a storm brewing in our head its time to take notice on what the real issues that are going on in our lives. That is were the tools given in these episodes come into play. Thank you for listening and God bless
