Tidak mungkin manusia bisa terus-menerus merasa bahagia setiap saat di dalam hidupnya. Pada kehidupan realita pasti akan ada masanya seseorang mengalami kesedihan, kegagalan, kehilangan, atau kebimbangan.
Kesedihan dan perasaan terpuruk menyerang ketika kita tidak mengharapkannya.
Sebagian dari kita memiliki kekuatan untuk mengatasinya dan sebagian dari kita tidak. Ada beberapa orang yang tersudut dalam kesedihan dan berkubang dalam mengasihani diri sendiri dan berjalan tertekan, tidak tertarik pada apa pun yang akan membuat mereka bahagia atau mengubah suasana hati mereka.
Hal yang penting untuk dipahami tentang kehidupan adalah bahwa perubahan adalah bagian yang penting dan tidak ada yang abadi. Menjadi depresi tidak membantu siapa pun dan hanya membuat kamu dan hari kamu terasa membosankan.
Semakin cepat kamu keluar dari keadaan tertekan, maka semakin baik bagi kamu dan semua orang di sekitarmu. Berikut beberapa kutipan kata bijak yang dapat membantu kamu mengatasi depresi.

1. Saint Francis de Sales
Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections but instantly set about remedying them — every day begin the task anew.
2. Kris Carr

Persistence can be tough when the going gets rough, but keep it in mind that as long as you keep going, you’ll eventually get to where you want to be. It’s refreshing to know that all that’s required is to keep plugging away at things, even if in the moment it doesn’t seem like you’re accomplishing much at all.
It may not happen today, or tomorrow, or this year, but having the belief that as long as you keep at it you’ll win is a helpful ally in achieving your dreams. Just knowing that you have the power to win no matter what can help to brighten a cloudy day.
4. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
The five stages – denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance – are a part of the framework that makes up our learning to live with the one we lost. They are tools to help us frame and identify what we may be feeling. But they are not stops on some linear timeline in grief.
5. Malcolm S. Forbes
When things are bad, we take comfort in the thought that they could always get worse. And when they are, we find hope in the thought that things are so bad they have to get better.

You shall be free indeed when your days are not without a care nor your nights without want and a grief. But rather when these things girdle your life and yet you rise above them naked and unbound.
7. Thich Nhat Hanh
Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.
8. Greenville Kleisser
Good humor is a tonic for mind and body. It is the best antidote for anxiety and depression. It is a business asset. It attracts and keep friends. It lightens human burdens. It is the direct route to serenity and contentment.

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.
10. Leonard Cohen
Ring the bells that still can ring. Forget your perfect offering. There is a crack, a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in.
11. Rainer Maria Rilke
Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.
