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

What is the thing that you feel like you need to transform in your life or business or internally to get to the next level of leadership for yourself?

I get so passionate about everything. to get to the next level of leadership for yourself.

I get so passionate about everything.

I was in a church board meeting many, many years ago,

and one of the old guys in there, he's like 80 years old.

We're in there arguing about something around the church,

and he gets up and starts walking out.

Where are you going?

He goes, y'all aren't arguing about anything that matters in five years.

I'm so wired up and over-caffeinated and passionate and everything else that it's an maturity thing. I have to work on. It's 62 freaking years old. You know, I mean, come on. Was there anything that you struggled with overcoming where you doubted yourself? That took you a long time to overcome that doubt and start to believe in yourself? Anytime we make a grave error, it takes some of your confidence, and it takes you a while to trust yourself again.

Like when I went broke, I not only lost everything, I was broken.

I lost, I went from the arrogance to the other end of the spectrum where I really didn't trust my own judgment

because I had destroyed everything.

It was a nuclear landscape, you know, after that.

And so it took me a while to trust myself again.

I had to earn my own trust back, as well as earn my wife's trust

back and earn the money back in the process. But I had to put a pattern in my life that was

trustworthy that I began to trust. First, I trusted the pattern and the truth of the principles,

and later I began to trust myself to apply them. That's a wound from trauma, is what it is.

And so it's much like I've got a friend who went through a divorce and he doesn't trust

himself to pick a wife.
