Sometimes it’s caused by family genes, sometime a chemical imbalance is your body, and other times by life’s circumstances. Depression effects all parts of our lives.

WOW, this is great advice for creating what you want in life. As someone told me, “it’s all between the ears.” That’s so true. The process for getting what you want begins, between the ears.
