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

Calling all conscious achievers who are seeking more community and connection, I've got an invitation for you.

Join me at this year's Summit of Greatness, this September 7th through 9th, in my hometown of Columbus, Ohio to unleash your true greatness.

This is the one time a year that I gather the greatness community together in person

for a powerful powerful transformative weekend.

People come from all over the world and you can expect to hear from inspiring speakers like

Inky Johnson, Joshpry Singh, Vanessa Van Edwards, Jen Censhero, and many more.

You'll also be able to dance your heart out to live music, get your body moving with group

workouts and connect with others at our evening socials.

So if you're ready to learn, heal, and grow alongside other incredible individuals in the

greatness community, then you can learn more at Lewishouse.com slash Summit 2023.

Make sure to grab your ticket, invite your friends,

and I'll see you there. My entire childhood I had a sense of deep loneliness, deep insecurity, loneliness, worry, fear that no one was ever

to like me and no one was ever to love me. And I'm assuming that it was a number of the instances I experienced in my life, the number of stories, the number of things I witnessed and experience that built a story in my mind that no one's going to like me or love me.

When I started to have friends, as a teenager in high school, I started to still feel a sense of loneliness with people around me and people liking me.

I still felt a deep sense of loneliness and the need to get people to like me.

And I took it upon myself to overcome that challenge by spending a lot of deep alone time and

falling in love with myself and falling in love with like who I am and writing letters to myself, taking myself out on dinner dates,

but alone movies all the time to the point where I said, you know what, I really enjoy my own company.

I don't need to feel good around other people anymore and it's a bonus I love people

still but it's like I love being alone but it took me having kind of the vision to break this mold. It took me like creating challenges for myself, like experiencing deep pain of figuring out how to love myself.

What are your thoughts on loneliness?
