So the next question becomes, do you have a balance of these three things?

If you spend too much time making the rest of the world happy, make yourself happy.

If you spend too much time making yourself happy, then start being in service to the world.

So there's a couple of fascinating studies on depression that show that, see, when we're depressed, we sort of get help from other people.

But one of the best treatments or one of the best ways to improve your depression is to actually be of service to other people.

When you do something kind for other human beings, when you start volunteering and taking care of animals, it helps your depression immensely.

Okay?

Lots of studies show this.

So that's the second dimension.

Now, the third thing that we're going to talk about is...

is a lack of lateralization.

So this is the key thing to understand.

If y'all are wasting all of your energy in a non-forward direction and you are just lateralizing all of your efforts, there's no way to move forward.

Challenge here is that if you are lateralizing, chances are you are looking into the future and you're saying there is no point in doing this.

And that's where you should do it anyway.

So one of the key things I found in working with people who are existentially depressed is we want to increase their suite of experience.

We want to give them more data.

We want to expand their horizons.

Try something new.

What is going to be the result of it?
