I don't think that's what he is necessarily saying. I think he is saying that with practice and some confidence you can achieve stability while still experiencing intense emotions. It's just you'll have the tools to manage the emotions so it doesn't get out of control.

I am lightly medicated. I go through a few days every month or two where I get pretty "depressed". (Like I won't move or accomplish anything for a few days) Even though I experience these physical symptoms of depression, I don't have negative thoughts associated with it. My last active suicidal thoughts were last spring. It's possible to get there if you challenge yourself to view things different.

I read this article (or something similar) a long time ago and it's shaped the way I view my "disorder". Watching people like Anika and Trippin's life perspective change gave me prompting that I could achieve the same. I've also admired Venus because she's always questioning WHY and showing people that they can do something to change the situation. You can't be satisfied with what is in front of you because there is always room for some improvement.
