Dan Martell - The Reason Why Most People Are Depressed

00:00:00.000 Why do you think most people are depressed?

00:00:01.720 I think most people are depressed

00:00:03.120 because they worry about the future that has never happened.

00:00:06.900 That fear of a future that's never existed,

00:00:10.060 that's what fear stands for, false evidence appearing real.

00:00:12.680 I think that most people worry too much

00:00:14.240 and worrying is a wasted use of a great imagination.

00:00:17.020 Being able to co-create your future and decide,

00:00:19.620 I'm going to focus on the positivity,

00:00:21.040 I'm going to focus on creating something

00:00:22.300 that's empowering and inspiring,

00:00:24.340 that's more exciting than worrying about the 15 things

00:00:27.560 that could go wrong, that haven't gone wrong,

00:00:29.440 that you've reacted to as if they've already happened,

00:00:31.500 they probably will never happen.

00:00:32.620 And 99% of the time, they never happen.

00:00:34.480 If people actually stopped and wrote down

00:00:36.100 everything they were worried about today

00:00:37.300 and everything they worry about the next day,

00:00:38.860 and they do that for a week,

00:00:39.840 and then at the end of the week,

00:00:40.780 they look at the list and they go,

00:00:41.940 wow, 99% of these things

00:00:44.080 that I thought was gonna happen, didn't happen.

00:00:46.420 I wonder how good at predicting the future I am.

00:00:48.800 Not.

00:00:49.300 So I wonder if there's a better way for me

00:00:51.160 to use my mind to focus on things

00:00:52.700 that could help me better.

00:00:53.740 Yes.

00:00:54.260 Focus on creating a future that's inspired.

00:00:56.000 I think most people are literally depressed

00:00:57.880 because they don't have a future.
