Summary

Have you celebrated where you are today? It’s important to have big goals. It’s important to have high standards. But you also need to acknowledge all you’ve done. Life isn’t only about the grind. It’s also about joy. This is a lesson I’ve had to learn through the years, and I believe it’s a key to my success. You have to enjoy every step along the way. I share this thought and many more on this special episode of The School of Greatness where I invited the winners of the Inspiring Life Contest from around the world to join me in the studio.

0:00.0	Episode number 734. This is something I've never done before.
0:07.8	Welcome to the School of Greatness. My name is Louis Howe's former pro athlete
0:13.2	turned lifestyle entrepreneur. In each week we bring you an inspiring person or message
0:18.8	to help you discover how to unlock your inner greatness. Thanks for spending some time with me today.
0:24.7	Now let the class begin.
0:30.7	Welcome everyone to the School of Greatness podcast. I want to share a couple quotes with you
0:36.8	to start. Napoleon Hill said something interesting. Strength and growth come only through continuous
0:43.6	effort and struggle. Harvey Firestone said, the growth and development of people is the highest

1:48.1	biggest scariest things, that's what I need to tackle first. That's what I need to go all in on
1:54.3	so that I'm not insecure about them. So I can develop new skills and continue to grow.
