C'mon man...he's acknowledging the fact he knows issues will cause trouble in his life and is prepared to deal with them... He isn't saying I'm always going to be sad, he's saying he will always fight the negative thoughts...

I faced depression for a long time, I stopped meds a few years ago and through rational emotive behavioral therapy and eliminating negativity surrounding me, I've become a very positive person... I live my life on my terms face adversity as a challenge to my will... I now feel that those given such burdens are given then because we are the ones who can handle them and our triumphs are to serve as inspiration to others...

Last year when I lost 45 pounds with a GI infection I looked at is a challenge to whether I was cut out to train...I said fuck it! Let the cosmos through what they got at me! I'll come back and I'll be better! I had a tumor on my leg and literally bled to death... Flatlined... I'm still here... I'm still kicking...

Life is what you make of it...

Pic of my leg... You can still see where the tumor was

Why did you almost bleed to death with a tumor?

I think u need to read some law of attraction books or audio cds. I think your attracting these negative experiences to you without realizing it.

What a miracle you survived. How long until you were stable?

I honestly can't recall exactly, perhaps a week to 10 days... I was on all kinds of drugs and had to go through a lot of testing, even years down the road...

But what I've been through makes me who I am, and I am grateful for the experiences I have had as I live a great life and am very happy at the position I've out myself in...

Thank you for asking
