Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

You mentioned that your previous boyfriend, a boyfriend back in the day, married his secretary,

and it was the greatest gifts that you had because

you got out of a relationship that wasn't going to work or you met your partner. Is there really

like a challenge or a mistake you made in business or life besides that? I don't think I'm the

type of person that is brave enough to admit I've made a mistake, honestly, because I think things have not

worked out along the way where things just didn't work out as I had hoped or dreamed to be.

But I don't see them as a mistake because as quick as you were thinking, oh, poor me, you start

to see the light of the door that it's opening that couldn't have opened without it.

Okay.

So I don't have like a regret that. This was a big mistake.

That was a big mistake.

But I have to also say I have my whole life been very cognizant of doing anything and exposing myself to anything, even when I didn't want to do it, because I'm definitely afraid of feeling like I would regret. Like, what if I don't do it? That's more of a motivation for me than doing. Me too. Like, for example, with Dancing with the Stars, I did not want to do it. I'm an old baby. The last thing I want to do is practice four hours a day. You were great. You think I was so great, not the judges. They didn't think so. I was the number one person on Dancing with the Starz last season. Number one, rejected. Now there's a record. So you might say that was a mistake with all the work that that led up to, and it was a social embarrassment. I thought I'd be rejected maybe number three or five or six,

but number one, I never saw a coming. But you know what? I'm so thankful I did it. And the minute I recovered by the next morning, I'm like, thank God I did it. And thank God it's over. It's a lot of work. It's a lot of work. Because I didn't want to, I said yes because I didn't want to wonder what it would have been like, you know.

So what I learned from that is that I can't dance well, but inside my body I feel like I'm a good dancer and I'll get out on any dance floor and do my own makeup steps and people really smile

as I'm dancing because I don't really give a crap. I learn the same lesson I learn again and again,

which is thank God I did it.

Thank God.

And the injury of, oh, God, you did so poorly, dissipates quickly, but there's an echo to not trying something that's going to stingy.

I think.

Not that I know that, because I really don't do that, but I'm afraid of it.

It's like fear of a nightmare that might happen. I don't know why because I don't really do that, but I'm afraid of it. It's like fear of a nightmare that
