You are constantly looking for ways to find happiness, and for whatever reason happiness doesn't seem to come easy to you anymore.  You have been to doctors, psychologists, and social workers, all of which have tried to medicate you time and time again, but for some reason you have never felt right about getting on depression medications.You have already had your fair share of struggles with the substances of this world, and they are what seemed to cause this depression to happen in the first place, so your thinking is: "why do I need to take another happy pill? -It was the happy pills that made this depression creep into my mind in the first place." You just want to feel normal again; like you used to feel when you were a kid, before the Dragons substances came into your life.You have come to find that exercise helps, especially when you challenge yourself at a high intensity. You have become a searcher of places to escape into exercise. You have come to love places of solitude, where you have become creative in your approach to finding happiness through exercising in remote locations. You make all physical activity into an experience, and as of lately you have started tying spirituality into exercise, where during exercise you work to get your mind on a more meditative spiritual path; a path of prayer, thankfulness and gratitude. You've even decided to take it a little further by preparing a pack loaded with proper nutrition, water, and your book of power. You now travel to places of remote solitude, where you work on harmonizing your mind, body, and spirit through intense hiking, running, prayer, and reading. Your natural endorphins have been lifted from the exercise, making the prayer and reading more powerful and real. You feel like after the intense exercise your mind is young and innocent once again. You feel like exercise puts your mind back on track; therefore, making it easier to retain spiritual insight when reading and studying about the invisible hand. You feel like you understand all things better after exercise, in which your mood seems to be lifted, and your spirits even heightened, making it easy to feel the warmth of spirituality. You have now found that all it really takes for you to overcome your depressive thinking is to search for alternate ways to be happy. You have become a searcher, one that is now willing to think outside the box in their approach to finding happiness. You are now not afraid to be unique in your efforts; and are now confident in this new method of getting lifted. You are so thankful for your decision to not take the depression medication, for the depression medication would have only made you numb to the beauties of this world; even numb to the beauties you are now experiencing from becoming an intense searcher of greatness, which is what it took for you to eventually find happiness. It wasn’t in the pill or medication form; it was through searching diligently for a new way to be happy.Now when you are doing yard work, you make the work into an experience where you stop periodically to meditate and ponder life. You stop often and listen, never being in a hurry because the yard work is looked upon as an experience, not a hurried project. You stop and read your scriptures for twenty minutes out in the yard, so you can continue to fuel your mind with powerful concepts and insights, before moving ahead and finalizing your work.You are constantly looking for opportunities to serve others. You have found that that through serving others you get a natural high that is indescribable. You love the way it makes you feel, and the balanced high it gives you. You have developed a sincere need and want to always be of assistance to others, because you have found great comfort when you do so. You have found that through helping and assisting others your character improves, allowing you to feel better and even more confident in yourself, which is rewarding and comforting.Now when depression strikes your mind, you know exactly what to do; you actually embrace its effects now, and become a searcher even further. You become a searcher of truth and understanding. You become an avid studier, and then you write about what you studied, where you roll with the impressions that flow into your mind with a freedom of hand. This type of searching and study seems to be great for rainy days, and very depressing days; days when there seems to be no hope.This determination to find happiness without running to a mind-altering substance has opened your eyes, helping you to see life’s beautiful characteristics. You now notice the powerful work-taking place behind the scenes of life, and are further determined to remain on this clear path, for the knowledge you’ve obtained is now a great responsibility. You see now that your struggle to find happiness is in fact a spiritual disease, and that your only way of overcoming this disease is through the gifts of the Invisible Hand. His gifts are the gifts that take work and effort; gifts such as: exercise, nutrition, reading, studying, meditating, and praying. The Invisible Hands gifts are not the gifts that are easily taken, for those easy gifts are the Dragons gifts. The Dragons gifts are the escape gifts; the gifts that provide the easy way out; the gifts that lead to His dark hole.-Hawk
