# 14: Mental Health Expert: “I’ve Been Suicidal For 14 Years!” Why Success Doesn't Mean You're Okay

Is there any other topic we haven't touched on?

I don't even know.

So there's this thing that...

I think I made a post about it like maybe four years ago or something and some people still talk to me about that where I met with one of my mentors who is now you know the board of my organization

and I

remember getting to her office and I was like oh my god if I worked in this kind of place I want to go home like it's so serene it's like not so green and The windows are top to bottom.

I'm like, oh, please, you know.

Anywho, I got talking because she usually would receive this, her female mentors every Wednesday.

And so we were talking and everything.

And I talked about success and I was like, wow, but I've taken so like, what does it take to like really build a life like this? Because she's successful on so many fronts.

And she

was like, you

know, how I think people overestimate what it takes to be successful.

And I said, oh, like, do you underestimate it, right? She's like, no, no, no.

Do you overestimate what it takes to be, exactly.

So that's the looks like.

Because I thought I heard it wrong.

And she's like, no, overestimate.

I'm like, really? How so? She said, people think, and this is something I've adopted over the years.

And I tell people, like, people believe that success is success.

what happens in this faraway future as a combination of so many things I have to do for many years.

I do believe that the key to success happens every day.

So when we say, when she was saying success is overrated, people overrated what it takes to be successful.

What she was saying is that The habits, the values, the beliefs, the habits, the models, the frameworks, the mental, all of these things that create success.

When people finally see somebody and say, oh, you're successful.
