The art of beating depression and life after

Life after the beginning

Once you have decided to begin a new, now it is time to focus on what you want. Want seems like a selfish word, but it is the key to living a full life. Human beings have to have three things in order to live.

1. Goal
2. Reward for getting the goal.
3. Punishment for missing the goal.

It’s the universal law of man that we have to have a purpose. We have free will, so we choose our goals. A goal usually has some reward when achieved. It can be a new car, a better job, or the perfect soul mate. No matter what goal we choose, there has to be a reward and a punishment. Generally those things come with reward and punishment but you can make it more fun by setting rewards and punishments yourself. Let’s say I want to get an A in a college class. I would set my reward as a new computer for myself. Then I set the punishment as giving away my television to good will. Now I don’t want to loose my tv so I am going to make sure to hit my goal. Not only that, but I can get a new laptop for myself if I do it. Now I have a purpose and a goal. It can be as rewarding as I make it. I don’t want to miss it because it will cost me. So now I have motivation to do the work and get the A. You can use this technique with your children too. It works great.
