  • 0:01 - 0:08
    You just want to- to step out of it
    to step out of the whole race, the whole
  • 0:08 - 0:15
    business, the- the monstrosity of being
    alive overwhelms you. If you have depression
  • 0:15 - 0:19
    if you have anxiety, if you have
    post-traumatic stress disorder, if you
  • 0:19 - 0:23
    have any kind of mental health condition,
    this is not something to ignore.
  • 0:23 - 0:30
    Depression, frustration, anxiety, pain
    disillusion, it's just a natural part of
  • 0:30 - 0:36
    the process of becoming a stronger
    version of yourself. The thing that keeps one
  • 0:36 - 0:41
    living is a sense of future. That there
    will be a tomorrow and tomorrow I've got to do
  • 0:41 - 0:47
    this and then the day after I've got to
    do that. Get started
  • 0:47 - 0:53
    and I'm gonna tell you right now, it
    won't be easy. It will be hard because
  • 0:53 - 1:02
    life is hard. That's what life is. With
    depression, one of the most important
  • 1:02 - 1:06
    things you can realize is that you're
    not alone. I have been places and someone
  • 1:06 - 1:09
    has said well you lost an arm and a leg so you
    have a right to be depressed and I
  • 1:09 - 1:15
    stopped and I was like depression is real. No
    matter what you're going through right
  • 1:15 - 1:20
    now it doesn't mean that it's not gonna end.
    I think too often we're thinking about
  • 1:20 - 1:24
    the stresses that we're dealt with right
    now and we think that there's no light
  • 1:24 - 1:29
    at the end of the tunnel. All that you
    can see is darkness and everything that
  • 1:29 - 1:35
    you try to do just kicks you right back
    in the face and you just can't seem to
  • 1:35 - 1:40
    get yourself up. You don't even have to
    go through something traumatic. Some are
  • 1:40 - 1:43
    caused by you know, something traumatic
    some can be a chemical imbalance in the
  • 1:43 - 1:52
    brain. There is light at the end of the
    tunnel. Life is hard. Life is challenging.
  • 1:52 - 1:59
    There are ups and downs and these
    challenges- these challenges that you
  • 1:59 - 2:08
    face they're gonna do their best to take
    you down. Do not let them.
  • 2:08 - 2:12
    Of course you have to work, of course you
    have to show up, your team needs you, life
  • 2:12 - 2:17
    needs you, your family needs you, life is
    for the living.
  • 2:17 - 2:22
    Depression is not only normal, it's
    essential and be grateful for it because
  • 2:22 - 2:26
    it allows you to reorder yourself at a
    higher level.
  • 2:26 - 2:35
    I speak what's on my heart and I gave my
    speech and as I was closing, I kind of
  • 2:35 - 2:39
    mentioned some depression because I was
    I was coming out of the winter months
  • 2:39 - 2:42
    and it hit me again this past winter
    and I went and saw the doctor
  • 2:42 - 2:46
    so it was on my mind and it came up and
    as I was saying, I thought this
  • 2:46 - 2:50
    generation of people probably aren't
    connecting to what I'm saying. When I
  • 2:50 - 2:55
    walked off the stage and they lined up
    the amount of people that thanked me
  • 2:55 - 2:59
    for talking about mental health and here
    I was- I thought they didn't want to hear it I
  • 2:59 - 3:02
    thought I was stepping out of line. No it
    needs to be talked about because it's
  • 3:02 - 3:07
    not just this generation, it's- people are
    realizing more and more there's an issue
  • 3:07 - 3:11
    and the more we talk about it the easier
    it is for people to be honest with
  • 3:11 - 3:18
    themselves and get the help they need.
    Line up those problems and confront them.
  • 3:18 - 3:26
    Face them, fight them. Do not let them
    bring you down, do not personally
  • 3:26 - 3:32
    identify with your depression.
    See it as you see winter and winter
  • 3:32 - 3:37
    always leads to spring and summer again,
    see it as you see nighttime. Nighttime
  • 3:37 - 3:41
    becomes
    daytime again. Hold on to that
  • 3:41 - 3:47
    fundamental quality of faith
    and on the other side of your pain is
  • 3:47 - 3:52
    something good. Suicide is a permanent
    solution to a temporary problem. No
  • 3:52 - 3:57
    matter what you're going through right
    now doesn't mean that it's not gonna end.
  • 3:57 - 4:05
    Stand up, dig in
    let those challenges raise you up, let them
  • 4:05 - 4:13
    elevate you, let their demands and their
    trials make you stronger. Adversity you
  • 4:13 - 4:22
    face today turning you into a better person
    tomorrow. You are worth more than
  • 4:22 - 4:28
    diamonds, all the diamonds in the world
    you are so precious, every single one of
  • 4:28 - 4:34
    your hearts. You can do something. Life is
    not always good, life is always not rosy
  • 4:34 - 4:42
    but life is worth living. There's one thing
    one thing that if you did every single
  • 4:42 - 4:46
    day it would make an extraordinary
    difference in whatever mental health
  • 4:46 - 4:50
    issue you're struggling with and that is
    exercise and the reason you've gotta
  • 4:50 - 4:54
    exercise every day is because what we
    know about human beings is that when you
  • 4:54 - 5:02
    physically move, your physiology changes
    and that changes your brain. Take the
  • 5:02 - 5:08
    time to rest
    because just what if that resting is the
  • 5:08 - 5:17
    key to world-class producing? Get outside
    and exercise every single day as if your
  • 5:17 - 5:22
    life depends upon it because you know
    what? It does. Your brain needs it
  • 5:22 - 5:28
    your body needs it, your mental health needs it and I feel like if you had
  • 5:28 - 5:32
    heart problems and saw a cardiologist
    well everyone would be concerned about you
  • 5:32 - 5:36
    and know you're doing better and it
    would be open and honest with the crew
  • 5:36 - 5:40
    but the most complicated organ in your
    body, if you have a problem with it
  • 5:40 - 5:44
    suddenly there's a- we don't want to talk
    about that? No and you can get over it and
  • 5:44 - 5:50
    that's what people need to realize. You
    can be cured, you can get past it. I
  • 5:50 - 5:55
    assure you
    the clouds will lift, right? There is
  • 5:55 - 5:59
    sunlight above the clouds, you're just
    looking at the clouds right now and they
  • 5:59 - 6:03
    will lift and crisis has come to teach
    you the big lesson you're meant to learn
  • 6:03 - 6:10
    to move to your next level in the next
    chapter of your greatest life. This
  • 6:10 - 6:15
    depression will pass. It will go away
    and something much better will take its
  • 6:15 - 6:20
    place but for right now all that you
    really need to know is that you have to
  • 6:20 - 6:28
    make it through. Getting your heart rate
    up, getting outside, breathing, feeling
  • 6:28 - 6:31
    connected, getting out of your house
    which may make you feel depressed and
  • 6:31 - 6:38
    trapped. The man I am with you right now
    as I speak with as much authenticity as
  • 6:38 - 6:44
    I know how to share is the result of my
    times in the valley of darkness.
  • 6:45 - 6:50
    Doing that everyday, that physical push
    you don't have to run, you don't have to
  • 6:50 - 6:54
    go to an aerobics class- class get
    outside with your dog in the woods, walk
  • 6:54 - 6:58
    with a good friend for two or three
    miles, doing that every single day not
  • 6:58 - 7:02
    only moves your body which changes your
    mind it gets you out of your physical
  • 7:02 - 7:05
    environment which is one of the things
    that people with depression tend to have
  • 7:05 - 7:09
    a hard time doing and it also creates a
    bit of momentum and a bit of a routine
  • 7:09 - 7:14
    in your life. Every time I experience a
    bout of depression I come out on the
  • 7:14 - 7:20
    other end a different person, doing
    different things but it's because I'm
  • 7:20 - 7:24
    aware of what's happening and I'm
    looking, I'm aware, I want to see the
  • 7:24 - 7:28
    opportunities as they present themselves
    to me instead of falling into the depths
  • 7:28 - 7:33
    of a spiral down depression because I'm
    personally identifying with what is
  • 7:33 - 7:39
    happening when I'm upset and your
    schedule is not full and you actually
  • 7:39 - 7:44
    feel like you're wasting your life
    because you're not this epic producer.
  • 7:44 - 7:51
    What if those times were actually a
    different form of productivity, what if
  • 7:51 - 7:56
    those times were actually being
    productive in a different way where
  • 7:56 - 8:00
    you're actually producing not in the
    world but producing within yourself
  • 8:00 - 8:04
    producing strengths, producing new
    insights, producing new ideas, producing
  • 8:04 - 8:09
    new capabilities, producing new energies
    producing new emotions, shifting from
  • 8:09 - 8:12
    fear to love because when you go through
    difficult times what do you really do if
  • 8:12 - 8:16
    you feel your fear and your pain? You
    release it. It's out of your system and
  • 8:16 - 8:20
    you grow in love and bravery and
    strength, what does that do to your craft
  • 8:20 - 8:23
    what does that do to your power, what
    does that do to your bravery, what does
  • 8:23 - 8:27
    that do to the light that you bring into
    the world? You become this incredible
  • 8:27 - 8:33
    force that is undefeatable.
    I suggest to you that if you are facing
  • 8:33 - 8:38
    a challenge
    don't stop. Stay busy, work your plan
  • 8:38 - 8:41
    continue to do those things that you
    know that work for you after you have
  • 8:41 - 8:46
    evaluated yourself in the situation.
    Continue to move, stay busy, stay busy
  • 8:46 - 8:53
    stay busy. You are part of a larger
    cosmos whether you know it or not and
  • 8:53 - 8:59
    communing with nature allows you not to
    see the bars of the prison cell but the
  • 8:59 - 9:04
    stars of the universe and if you can
    connect with those every day, my dear
  • 9:04 - 9:12
    friend you will use your pain as an
    instrument for your greatest growth and then
  • 9:12 - 9:15
    you try something new and then you'll
    also go to school and people will put
  • 9:15 - 9:17
    you down and parents will tell you that
    you're a failure because you failed at a test
  • 9:17 - 9:23
    and you start believing the lies
    around you saying that you're not good
  • 9:23 - 9:26
    enough and no one's gonna want you and
    you'll never ever do anything good in
  • 9:26 - 9:30
    your life and you'll never ever- you know
    achieve the dreams and goals
  • 9:30 - 9:36
    that you wish you had done, or wish that you could do and these steps take you
  • 9:36 - 9:41
    closer. That voice saying you're not good
    enough, you're not good enough, you're not
  • 9:41 - 9:47
    good enough and all you need is one more
    step to fall so you have a choice to
  • 9:47 - 9:51
    know which step you're gonna take today.
  • 9:53 - 10:00
    I want you to know that no matter where
    you are in life, no matter how low you
  • 10:00 - 10:05
    have sunk
    no matter how bleak your situation, this
  • 10:05 - 10:14
    is not the end. This is not the end of
    your story, this is not the final chapter
  • 10:14 - 10:24
    of your life, I know it may be hard right
    now but if you just hang in there, stick
  • 10:24 - 10:31
    it out, stay with me for a little while
    you will find that this tough moment
  • 10:31 - 10:38
    will pass and if you are committed to
    using this pain, using it to build your
  • 10:38 - 10:47
    character, finding a greater meaning for
    the pain, you will find that in time you
  • 10:47 - 10:58
    can turn your life around and help
    others going through the same struggles.
  • 10:58 - 11:01
    The world right now is in the middle of
    a mental health crisis.
  • 11:01 - 11:06
    It's estimated almost half the
    population suffers from depression at
  • 11:06 - 11:11
    some stage throughout their life rather
    than join the queue, it's important we
  • 11:11 - 11:18
    learn why we get down and then how we
    can change it because believe it or not
  • 11:18 - 11:23
    we create our own negative feelings and
    we can also ensure that we turn our
  • 11:23 - 11:29
    lives around and be a positive change
    for others. The reason anyone gets
  • 11:29 - 11:34
    depressed always comes down to the
    consistent thoughts we think and the
  • 11:34 - 11:40
    consistent beliefs we hold. Let me say
    that again. The reason anyone gets
  • 11:40 - 11:46
    depressed always comes down to the
    consistent thoughts we think and the
  • 11:46 - 11:52
    consistent beliefs we hold. The point
    here is that anyone that is depressed is
  • 11:52 - 11:57
    so because there is an external factor
    that didn't materialize in their life.
  • 11:57 - 12:02
    They have lost something outside of
    their control or don't have something
  • 12:02 - 12:07
    that is out of their control.
    In school we are taught how to get a job
  • 12:07 - 12:13
    but no one teaches us how to live in a
    state of happiness. No one teaches us how
  • 12:13 - 12:18
    important our conscious and unconscious
    thoughts and associations are. Is our
  • 12:18 - 12:24
    happiness not worth more than a job? Yes
    it is and before you say happiness won't
  • 12:24 - 12:28
    pay my bills,
    happiness will pay your bills. When you
  • 12:28 - 12:32
    realize you will be 10 times more
    energized, focused and take positive
  • 12:32 - 12:36
    action in your life when you first
    choose to develop yourself as a priority
  • 12:36 - 12:43
    and then get to the stuff of the world.
    I've seen some people who many would
  • 12:43 - 12:47
    consider to have it all in their life
    because they thought they were not good
  • 12:47 - 12:53
    enough, a though,t a belief within them
    told them they were not worthy. These
  • 12:53 - 12:59
    people that many were jealous of, many
    envious of, were not good enough.
  • 12:59 - 13:06
    You must value yourself enough to take
    the time every single day to work on you
  • 13:06 - 13:11
    to engage in something that will ensure
    you are a positive influence on the
  • 13:11 - 13:14
    world.
    This of course doesn't mean life will
  • 13:14 - 13:19
    suddenly be perfect, the same life
    challenges will show up but if your mind
  • 13:19 - 13:25
    is strong, if your mind is at peace, your
    reaction to the challenging times will
  • 13:25 - 13:31
    be very different. Your reaction will be
    how can I make this work, not why is this
  • 13:31 - 13:35
    happening to me
    and then others will look to you not
  • 13:35 - 13:39
    with pity but with hope
  • 13:39 - 13:45
    because your strength will become their
    hope, their strength. You really can be
  • 13:45 - 13:50
    that powerful. You can ditch the victim
    story, you can leave the pain behind and
  • 13:50 - 13:58
    focus on how you will react next, how you
    will react positively.
  • 13:58 - 14:04
    Read, read all you can read to get your
    mind in a positive place, take steps to
  • 14:04 - 14:08
    ensure you will be in a better position
    next time, whatever pain you are
  • 14:08 - 14:13
    suffering from how you can ensure it
    won't show again. Take little steps and
  • 14:13 - 14:19
    soon you will be at the top of the
    staircase. Don't give up, you are worthy
  • 14:19 - 14:26
    you are more than worthy, you deserve to
    experience how great life can be and you
  • 14:26 - 14:32
    owe it to the world to be that positive
    change for others, to inspire others who
  • 14:32 - 14:40
    will look to you and say he did it, she
    did it and I can do it too.
