How Depression Helped Michael Phelps Find His Purpose

Michael Phelps - Dream & Live Video

Transcript:

"People won't have to deal with the BS that I give them or the crap I put them through. Didn't eat, didn't really sleep. I just figured that it was the best thing to do was just to end my life. It's turned me into believing that there is a power greater than myself and there is a purpose for me on this planet. When I hang my suit up for the final time, put all the medals and the records aside, as long as I can say I did everything I wanted... this is a sport that I fell in love with because my mom put me in for water safety and it turned into this. I know what my career will always mean to me, something that I dreamed of and I've lived. At the end of the day, that's all that matters."

Just when we think we've got it all under control, life has a way of ripping the rug right out from under us. It may be as simple as our car breaking down at the worst possible time (it's always when we have somewhere we really need to be).

It could be a little more frustrating like getting slapped with surprise bills that'll make us dip into our savings. But there's one kind of disaster that's the hardest to come back from.
