"If someone wishing you 'Happy Holidays' makes you hostile .... you completely missed the point Jesus was trying to make."
 
 

 
"When you find yourself in a position to help someone be happy and feel blessed because God is answering that person's prayers through you. 
 
Remember:  Our purpose on Earth is not to get lost in the dark, but to be a light to others, so that they may find way through us."

REPEATING THE SAME MISTAKES/depression happens because of psychological attachments to what is FAMILIAR.  so make NEW routines and attachments and after a while the new attachments will be what is familiar: 
 
 
"Psychological attachments:   Unwittingly seeking old, familiar misery again and again.
Psychological attachments occur when feeling miserable is more familiar (and therefore more pleasurable) than feeling good.
If you were raised in an emotionally dysfunctional family and/or had an emotionally/physically dysfunctional boyfriend during your developmental years (teens), then you were forced to internalize the negative messages you received.    These were painful messages, to be sure.
As a child, what did you do with the constant onslaught of emotional pain?    You did the only thing you could:    you learned to tolerate it.    In other words, you developed a tolerance for emotional angst, even though you hated it.    This was your only choice at the time.
Now, emotional angst is the norm in your life.    Your tolerance/routine of putting up with something bad... for it, coupled with a lack of familiarity for feeling wonderful, encourages you to make choices that keep in the realm of familiar misery.
In fact, because of attachments, many people simply cannot tolerate happiness.    It makes them feel strange and scared.
Psychological attachments are the most overlooked mental health phenomenon of our day.    Because of them, we unwittingly set ourselves up for misery, even though we are unhappy doing it!    Learn about the self-sabotage that comes from these attachments by watching this free video."
