You shouldn't trick yourself into thinking it's warm when it isn't-- that's called hypothermia and is quite dangerous.
Similarly, if you're sad or depressed you shouldn't trick yourself into being happy. Don't lie and say life is fine. And don't lie and say that everything is horrible and life will never be good again.
Its ironic that we say that.
"Life is bad." or "life is good."
No. Life is neither good nor bad. It simply is. It is us, and our situations who are good or bad. It is us and our actions that can bear the label "good" or "bad."
Thankfully we don't have to go around carrying those labels. Instead I bear the label "righteous."
Well, you might say I don't deserve to carry around that nametag. My friend Jesus, who did deserve very much, gave it to me. And since he deserves it he has the right to wear it and give it to whomever he chooses.
I'm rambling. Back to my point. Remember good times and bad times equally. Don't let yourself be bogged down, remember what the sunshine feels like when it's raining and remember the cool beautiful feel of the rain when it's blazing hot.
