A short motivational YouTube monologue (by Blair Singer) arguing that depression often signals the end of a "game" or life-phase rather than the end of the line. The speaker uses the Great Depression as an analogy and urges listeners to acknowledge the ending, look for their next big jump, and create a new chapter.
It's the end of the game. That's right. The end of the game. One of my great teachers by the name of Alan Walters said this. He goes, if you're in a depressed state, it can mean a lot of things. But probably the biggest thing that it means is that the game you're playing is over. You finished it, you're done with it. Think about the Great Depression in the United States. That game of money and finance and business was over, and it took the nation a long time to recover. It had to create a new way of doing business, a new financial system. And then when it did, it prospered. Same with you and me. If you're depressed, it'd be the end of a game. Maybe you were heartbroken. Well, that game's over. Understand that it's over and start looking to create a new one. Start looking to create what's the next biggest jump for me? Where's the next place I need to go? Depression is not the end of the line. It's a signal that the old one's over, and it's a signal to start a new one. That's all it is. Be awesome, my friend.
