I've been there a lot in my life especially before my car accident in my teenage years then the first woman
I ever loved we had a big breakup and that breakup sent me down in depression
and suicidal planning and it's tough to dispense advice to people other than get
help and I'll share why because that time in my life I had so many people coming
up to me you know my friends would come into my dorm room I think let's go do
something and you just there just the hope is lost and what people I think make
the mistake of trying to do is hype people up everything's gonna be okay you can
be gray the most important thing is when you are super down outside of finding
that emotional reasoning for where you are is to start getting momentum because
with momentum comes hope with momentum comes motivation with momentum comes you
know that feeling that there's a reason for tomorrow and so it's as simple as
just saying okay what are three things I'm gonna do today dude sometimes that
first goal is Shh I'm gonna shower today I'm really a shower today I'm gonna
walk the library and come home and that's all they got literally that's all they
got and you gotta honor that struggle when you're in that place like know that
where you're at it is okay that you're there and now you're gonna need help and
now you're gonna have to set up some daily practices just everyday win a little
bit not like when your dreams not like crushed through goals not like be badass
not like no just momentum man gloomy and bad dark days trust that those are
going to be there they'll get less and less and less as you learn how to cope
but they're gonna be there and so when they're there it's what they might I mean
outside of teaching people to bring the joy in my life I teach people to honor
the struggle honor the difficulty when we honor the struggle instead I hate the
struggle we can really achieve extraordinary things because our mind sets in the
right place in your hands this very moment is your journey the journey that
allows you to be someone fueled by your potential take the risks that allow you
to become something more that allow you to change your view on life that allow
you to look through a different pair of eyes one that grants you the power to
see something and then know how to change it to look at life as an opportunity
an opportunity to feel like somebody new someone with the potential it can keep
moving forward set yourself your own rules like why play by someone else's rules
when you can set rules that help you become the best version of yourself rules
that don't hold you back but rules that pull you forward be grateful for the
position you're in and be grateful for the chance to give it one more go this
opportunity could be wasted but being here gives you the drive to put any effort
or your future she's so many people in the same routine and they hate they hate
it they are not happy in their life they're not happy with their with their
whatever they're doing you know and and and and and and and if you want advice
from me if that's your life right now go find something else just just just try
try something else out you know if you're miserable in alive and and I've
actually been miserable you people people can be me personally even though they
have everything you know you see super successful people in life and you think
there's no way they are miserable but but but that's that's not the case you
know even though you are successfully doing well you can still help out this I
have gone through some very difficult times to be honest with you and lately in
the last two three years I've been going through some very hard times so very
very hard times and I haven't been very open about that yeah it's been very
tough for me I had to deal with some some some difficult things that I I
couldn't control and that's life like I'm human like everyone else I feelings
I'd go through hardships like everyone else and sometimes you were put into
difficult positions and that's life it's very unfair I think the more things are
talked about more comfortable we are and the more we can understand them when I
woke up one morning and saw that in a tweet that Prince Harry came out talking
about his depression it made me really happy because I have been places and
someone has said well you lost an arm or leg so you had a right to be depressed
I was talking I was like depression is real you don't you didn't have to go
through something traumatic some are caused by you know something traumatic some
can be a chemical imbalance in the brain and I feel like if you had heart
problems and saw a cardiologist war everyone would be concerned about you would
know you're doing better and it would be open and honest with the crew anybody
who are they yeah 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 about that no and you
can get over it and that's what people need to realize you can be cured you can
get past it today is your day to tell your story to speak your mind to tell the
truth about your future to speak about the power you've always had the potential
you've always had this is how you succeed you will be your power you have this
power communicate your problems communicate the power you know that you have
this is the beginning of your power the start of your progress take every day as
an opportunity to be better every day to have the power to try something new to
become something new this is where your progress can be kick-started accelerate
your life into your direction now is it the time to wait now isn't the time to
waste let this be the power that takes you towards your success this is the
opportunity you've earned this is the potential you've always had step out of
the crowd and step into your success I would lay in my bed and just want to die
in it just they didn't want to exist I wanted an anesthesiologist to come and
give me a shot it's like my soul adjust and at the time I was in a belief system
where there was an afterlife and so that wasn't possible you couldn't get you
couldn't be gone you were around forever no matter what you did and in fact if
you took their life for you it you're not behaving in a way that this belief
system you know rewards you and so I was trapped and do you worst fill in the
entire world's I had no out but not only that I had kids I had it like I felt
responsible for being a father and so I was building Braintree and you know I
had challenges at home with my significant other and I had kids who are sleepy
and I wasn't myself 24/7 having companies break and like all the pressure and it
just drove me into the ground to a point I just delirious I mean I was broke you
I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro at the tail end of the situation and I got sick I
got a stomach virus and like three or four days in I had the virus for a couple
days plus I was out I was sick with altitude sickness and I just felt terrible
like the worst I've ever felt and we got to base camp and they were 15,000
something and I had to make a decision whereas gonna climb to the top the next
morning and I thought let's do it I'm not gonna back down from this as I did it
and the four hours the summit changed my life where the mountain became my
problem and it became a presentation of my life and I started this into M&M my
favourite artist and his um his defiance against that problem anyways I admitted
the top and just go down cried and it was I it was the mountain was my
impression was my marriage it was my belief system and I went home and I was
changed I sold my company shortly after Raintree I got a divorce I left my
religion and I was back at my 21 year old age and I said family like what how do
i rewrite myself from scratch or I care about what matters what exists was true
not true
