That's such an interesting topic for me, and I'm absolutely thrilled to talk about a time when I overcame a significant challenge. A couple of years back, I was in a perpetual state of stress and anxiety. At that time, I was on the verge of being diagnosed with clinical depression because of my personal, relational, and spiritual problems. When I lost my grandfather, I was an emotional wreck, freaking out and losing my mind. I was also tangled up in a toxic relationship that was bound to end in disaster. On top of these personal and relational issues, I was also out of touch with God, which meant I was struggling to find the meaning of life. However, one day, while surfing the internet and scrolling through social media, specifically YouTube, I came across the best clinical psychologist of all time, Jordan Peterson, and his speeches on personal accountability, the purpose of life, and depression. Interestingly enough, he linked the meaning of life with the idea of personal responsibility and self-improvement. In most of his lectures, he also talked about God and how we can fulfill our commitments. By the way, he is second to none when it comes to articulating his thoughts and expressing his ideas, which is why I think it is literally impossible to beat him in any debate. After listening to his talks, I underwent a positive transformation from being a hopeless, spiritually lost, and suicidal person to becoming an influential, responsible, and healthy individual. Not only did I repair my horizontal relationships with people and form lifelong friendships, but I also strengthened my vertical relationship with God. I started praying more frequently, assisting more people, and living up to my potential. Having addressed my difficulties associated with my
