I teach to people honor the struggle honor
the difficulty when we honor the struggle instead of hate the struggle we can really achieve extraordinary things because our mindset's right place it accept like as soon as you honor the struggle you accept that oh of course there should be struggle here i should I should honor this process.
When you go to the gym to work out you like honor that this is going to be hard and it honored that processes of getting better and the more that you bring honor to it the more your psyche builds with strength and you get a little bit of that esteem back because you see yourself engaging something versus avoiding it running away you see yourself. Connecting with something and giving it reverence.
You're like like I have reverence for the difficulties of life they maybe better so I don't want a friction free life. I'm not interested in it you know the, the I like to say sometimes that you know the journey to greatness begins the moment that our you know deep desires for comfort and ease are overpowered by our desire to connect and contribute.
It is estimated mental disorders are attributable to 14.3% of deaths worldwide, or approximately 8 million deaths each year because you I look at veterans in the past it was you know I think in the world war ii it was called shell shock it was all these different things but it was not acknowledged in the way.
That it is now but I think it needs to be talked about more I think the more things are talked about the more comfortable we are and the more we can understand them when I wake up one morning and saw that in a tweet that Prince Harry come out talking about his depression. it made me really happy because I have been places and someone had said well you lost an arm and a leg.
So you had a right to be depressed. And I stopped them I was like depression is real you Don't you don't even have to go through something traumatic some are caused by you know something traumatic some can be a chemical imbalance balance in the brain and I feel like if you had heart problems and saw a cardiologist well everyone would be concerned about you.
Would know you're doing better and it would be open and honest with the crew anybody you work with but the most complicated organ in your body. If you have a problem with it suddenly. there's a we don't want to talk that no and you can get over it and that's what people need to realize you can be crued you can get past it.
That's what we need to realize you know the reason did it was because when I was in my
Depression I thought I was alone I didn't open up to anybody so I thought someone's going to read this and it's going to help them so I just as nervous as i was about the book i kept thinking that one person is going to read it.
Well now let's open up this dialogue and I'll go and I'll speak and do q a and people want to talk about I gave a speech in florida and it was it was an older crowd it. was like I was gonna say it was they were old and I I speak on my heart and I gave my speech and as I was closing I kind of mentioned some depression. because i was i was coming out of the winter months and it hit me again this past.
Winter and I went and saw the doctor and so it was on my mind and it came up and as I was saying I thought this generation of people probably aren't connecting to what I'm saying. when I walked off the stage and they lined up.
The amount of people that thanked me for taking about mental health and I was i though they didn't want to I thought I was stepping out of line no it needs to be talked about because it's not just thus generation. it's people are realizing more and more that it's an issue and the more we talk about it the easier it is for people to be honest with themselves and get the help. they need.
