I'm sometimes stuck in a vicious circle; wondering whether to break free of the familiar sense of depression. It may feel horrible, but it's something that you know. It's something that is predictable. It may not feel great but you at least know how it feels. There's no surprises.
What about the future? Now that's a mystery to me. Apparently my future holds potential and happiness. That's unfamiliar to me; success and happiness. What is that? How does it feel? I have no idea. A mystery. That's what stops me sometimes when I'm trying to change. It's the unknown. Yes, the desire to be happy is strong within me, but how does it feel? Is it really worth the pain? Is it worth the effort? Is it really as good as everyone says it is? Truth is, you're not going to know until you get there.
Everything in life that you haven't experienced is a mystery. Sometimes these are disappointments, but if there's something you want then work for it. Is happiness a mystery to you too? Can you even remember the last time you were truly happy? It may feel like a far-off dream; something you feel you will never know for the rest of your life. But you will. Keep working at it and it won't be a mystery any more, it'll be a reality.
