You want to overcome depression? Study a river.
- A river’s waters break down anything in time. It doesn’t matter if the obstacle’s a boulder or a rock. Any obstacle in a river’s path it wears down. Any obstacle in a river’s bath is no match for a river that just flows around. Throw a huge boulder in a river, and the river laughs and finds another way. A river overcomes, patiently and gradually.
To overcome depression, be patient like a river.
- A river’s waters are made of the same stuff as tears: water and a pinch of salt. Yet the river’s waters give life —the water is a lifeline—to the shrubs, the beasts, the people by its shores. A river overcomes, with love. A river transforms tear stuff into life stuff and gains meaning from making others happy.
To overcome depression, be loving like a river.
- A river’s waters flow back to an original source. These waters don’t have no direction or no goal—they constantly, without apology, go back to their source. Is the river a Buddhist, Christian, or Hindu? It doesn’t matter. The river knows its source and its maker. A river overcomes, singing a faithful prayer while pressing on to the Source.
To overcome depression, have faith like a river.
With these things—faith, patience, and love—I promise: You will overcome like a river.
