If you feel like you are getting down on life, and that depression or feelings of self-loathing are creeping into your life, you need to make a change. You need to make a decision that you are going to live each day of your life to the fullest, and the way to do that is by taking wisdom fro others. The book of wisdom for me has been the Bible. I can read it any time I like, and the teachings in this book have changed so many aspects of my life. Not only am I happy, but I have joy.
