From Negative to Positive
I always wondered what it would be like to feel always happy but no matter where I went or what I did, my mind was always filled with negative thoughts, sadness, loneliness, doubts, and worries. I carried stress, worries, and regrets everywhere – to my family, my friends, to my work.
I Could Let Go Of My Inferiority Along With Anger
It was not really easy for me to drive 16 hours a day. I always felt irritated and nervous and always felt like I was being chased by something. For a taxi driver, every minute is a penny. In order to pay the bills, I had to rush all the time.
As My Mind Changed, My Life And My Family Also Changed
I was always very negative and got irritated easily. I was depressed for no reason and also rebellious. I felt a lot of regrets about my life. Even at a young age, I was curious about the purpose of life, but I lived thinking that to be able to know the answer was beyond me.
Being One with the Universe
I used to live in total darkness. Both of my past and future distressed me. Unnecessary and negative thoughts filled my mind and led me to a life filled with stress, fear, insecurity, and a lack of confidence in myself and in my surroundings. I lost all enthusiasm for life and was trapped in a deep depression. My physical health also continued to deteriorate.
The Morning Used To Start With My Screaming, But Has Turned Peaceful
As I meditated, I became grateful for everyone around me and the given circumstances. Before meditation, I didn’t even know I was depressed, and I lived blaming all the circumstances, people and conditions.
I Used To Be A Sensitive And Hypocritical Boy
When I was in elementary school, I was smart. Because of that I have gotten many compliments from teachers and friends. But, after I became a 3rd grader, I saw myself becoming more arrogant, and never appreciated my teachers and friends. I did not realize it at that time, but there were many kids who cried and got hurt because of me.
There Is No Loneliness Or Inferiority
I was separated from my parents when I was 10 years old to attend a private school in rural France and lived in a dormitory with my fellow students. All the other children at this private school were rich and I was frequently teased for being poor and having cheap clothing, so I was very sad and lonely at this age.
You Who Always Listened To Me Have Changed My Life
I began to understand my parents and that it was because their lives were so difficult. I started to feel sorry to my husband because I mistakenly judged that he is the one who is not flexible, when he really wasn’t that way. Just as my friend listened to all my words and accepted them, I realized my husband, too, probably wanted to feel that from me.
My life had turned into a maze of emotions. Slowly I was starting to become a person filled with anger and despair. I was never satisfied and I was without hope. I felt empty. But somehow, I always had a gut feeling that there must be a way out.

I Was Able To Find The Reason For My Chronic Depression And Throw Away
I was born the third daughter out of 6 siblings. My parents gave me much and enough love, but I still felt lonely. Because I never wanted to be at home alone, whenever my parents left me, I cried a lot. Also, at school, I always took my best friend with me wherever I went.
