Really sad to hear that Robbin Williams, one of my favourite actors has committed suicide because of depression. It is shocking to know that a man who has brought laughter and smiles to so many people was so sad inside that he found it easier to take his own life. This is a reminder to us that happiness comes from the inside and not from the outside. You can have all the money, fans, friends, awards, fame and still be very unhappy. I always tell my students that happiness is NOT a goal to be achieved. Instead, happiness is a state of mind you choose to be in. If you choose to be happy this moment, all you have to do is to focus on all the blessings you have... your family, your freedom, your heath, your friends.. focus on everything that you have that so many people do not have. At the same time, you can choose to feel depressed, even with everything you have. The recipe is to focus on everything in your life that is not meeting your expectations. No matter how much you have, you can always find something that is not meeting your expectations. Focus on it and you will feel lousy. Lesson: If you do not know how to be happy now... you will never ever be happy even with all the goals you achieve.
