These topics will give some ideas on what life is all about and what we all should consider as important in our own lives. These perspectives will guide you through your efforts to become a champion.

DESPAIR

The feeling of despair may seem very appropriate, but you should know that others have been there and have suffered similar or worse experiences. They have survived, and so will you.

But the nearer the dawn the darker the night,
And by going wrong all things come right;
Things have been mended that were worse,
And the worse, the nearer they are to mend.
- Henry Longfellow (1807-1882)

All things pass, have they not always before? To counteract the feeling of hopelessness, list those assets which you do have: family, youth, friends, health, job, home, nature, pets, garden, music, faith, books . .

"When all else is lost the future still remains." - Christian Bovee (1820-1904)

The feeling of guilt is one of despair and depression. We should think about what we have done, but just long enough to realize the full extent of what we did, and to make amends if possible. The only other thing that we can do is to assure ourselves that we will avoid such behavior in the future. Beyond this, stewing over it and rehashing the event endlessly, will serve absolutely no useful purpose. It is a complete waste of time.

Avoid experiences that result in guilt by not judging, blaming, or bringing down other people. Try to find their good points, and try to avoid anger. Don't blame yourself either. Accept that you make mistakes but don't hold a grudge against yourself.

One of the best ways to recover from despair, guilt, or sorrow, is to keep busy.
