Essay: "Overcoming Depression"by Paul Tovar To overcome means to conquer. Depression means sadness. I look at both these words as a part of life. Us people live a life of ups and downs. You must have sadness to have happiness. You must conquer and have the ability to lose in order to be a true winner. As we grow up in our lives we learn these basic skills in life daily in all aspects. And I even once heard some lyrics in a song that says it all: "The world is a mystery and the road may be a bumpy ugly path, but it's a wonderful ride." To overcome depression we must look at the entire picture of our scene in life. When we see the whole, we learn that the sadness isn't as strong as the happiness. We all have the strength to conquer our difficulties in our lives. And to begin to conquer we must go all the way back to our beginning, People sometimes cannot remember what we first did in our beginning. And it's very simple. We took our first breath. And when I'm sad and feel depressed, I stop and take deep breaths and look at the entire scene I'm confronted with. Then I'm able to conquer any obstacle of life. What a wonderful ride.
