You've Got It

You Want It?

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 2 years ago 1 min read
If You Really Want It --- Work For It!

"You've got to get up every morning

with determination

if you're going to go to bed

with satisfaction".

If you want something bad enough,

you will turn up and work for it.

Isn't every day like this?

And who knows

what will happen that day?

You could meet someone special,

find that perfect job,

or just see that beautiful view.

A mother never gives up when giving birth to that baby,

and when she holds him / her ---

ooh what a beautiful feeling! ! !

This can be difficult for anyone

who is suffering from depression.

Yes,

it is real and it is a mental health problem.

Who knows why someone spirals out of control

but that person can be helped today.

The first thing they can do to help themselves

is to "get up, out of bed, and look out of the window

to see that outside world".

Once we're moving, it'll become 'normal' .

And do you ever think,

at the end of the day,

"I'm glad I went out today,

I feel like I have accomplished something"?

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
