Swami Mukundananda
Can gratitude help when I feel depressed and hopeless?
Gratitude breaks the chain of hopeless thoughts
A depressed person has reached the conclusions that bad things have happened to them, good things will never happen, and the universe is not on their side. Gratitude breaks this chain of thought and changes your perspective.
Bad things have happened to me and good things will never happen to me. The universe is unfavorable to me. It is not on my side. Gratitude breaks this chain of thought.
