The Daily Motivation

Your inner child saw the world with wide open eyes, and some part of you still misses it.Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/2001DMRobert Greene, author of multiple bestselling books, told Lewis that a young child gives about 90% of its attention to the world and only 10% to itself. By adulthood, those numbers flip to 98% on yourself and 2% on everything else.Robert explains that the adult brain runs on inhibition, filtering out color and noise so you can get through the day. A baby has almost none of that filter, so a pet or the sky feels like pure enchantment.He calls that child your lost self. You once knew that open mind, and he believes losing it is making you miserable without you even noticing.Next time you step outside, look up from your phone and notice one thing as if you are seeing it for the first time.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The moment you decide to change your life, your brain starts scanning for danger.Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1502DMPrice Pritchett, who has spent decades guiding companies through mergers and layoffs, told Lewis that the fear of change works the same way inside you as it does inside a company. The future blurs and your trust in yourself drops, so the villain voice gets loud.Price points to Daniel Kahneman's research: we weigh imagined losses twice as heavily as gains. So your mind will always argue for staying put unless the payoff feels real.He compares it to redoing a kitchen. Day one feels exciting, then comes the messy middle with holes in the walls and wires hanging, and that's when most people quit.Next time a big change has you griping, you will know it's a normal stage. Paint your promised land in neon lights and keep walking.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Real happiness starts the moment you stop running from the truth about your own suffering.Check out the full episode: https://lewishowes.com/podcast/krishna-ji/Krishnaji, co-founder of One World Academy, told Lewis that all inner suffering comes from obsessive self-centric thinking. Get fired, and the real pain is rarely the job hunt. It is “who is this guy to fire me?” and dreading what you will tell your family.He shared the story of a student diagnosed with stage three cancer who kept asking why God was punishing him. Once he saw he was only thinking about himself, the suffering lifted while his family focused on his treatment. He was cured.Krishnaji says the freedom is automatic once you see the truth. Nothing else has to happen first.Next time you feel that spiral, ask yourself who you are really thinking about. You may feel lighter as soon as you answer honestly.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

When your relationships all fall apart at the same time, the common denominator might be you.Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/2000DMLewis Howes, host of The School of Greatness, goes solo here to share the season when his life was all about him. He got injured as an athlete and asked why this was happening to him, then made money and still felt empty.Then every relationship he had broke down at once, from business partners to romance. Lewis finally saw who the common denominator was: “I can't blame everyone anymore, because I'm at the center of all my problems.”That honesty is why he turned down The Lewis Howes Show and named it School of Greatness, so the light would fall on other people. When you ask a good question and then stay quiet, people show you their soul.Look at where you keep asking “why me” and turn that energy toward someone else. Service is the fastest way to relationships that take you further than your ego ever will.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
