"So often time it happens,
we all live our life in chains,
and we never even know
we have the key."
The Eagles, lyrics from the song
"Already Gone"
Lack of self-esteem and self-confidence is an example of what could be seen as a ball and chain. Some people confuse the ball and chain as depression . . . it is a fine line.
Life circumstances can get someone to that point and play tricks on the mind. The thought process turns negative and everything looks impossible.
However, nothing is impossible when we know we have that key.
In the darkest days of my life, learning how to be grateful for the simplest of things helped me realize so much and put everything into perspective. Gratefulness was my key.
Do you know what yours is?
