| 0:00.0 | You are listening to the Life Coach School Podcast with Brook Castillo episode number four hundred. |
| 0:08.3 | Welcome to the Life Coach School Podcast, where it's all about real clients, real problems and real coaching. |
| 0:17.0 | And now your host, Master Coach Instructor Brook Castillo. |
| 0:21.7 | Well, hello, my beautiful friends. Episode four hundred. That's four hundred weeks that I have been |
| 0:34.8 | sitting here in front of this microphone talking to y'all. Every single week, we haven't missed a |
| 0:41.2 | week showing up and doing this thing. And I wanted to take episode four hundred to be proud of myself |
| 0:53.0 | and to teach y'all how to be proud of yourselves. There's a huge lack of this going around, |

| 2:04.4 | And I think for so many of us, we achieve our dreams, we achieve goals, and then we diminish them. |
| 2:10.5 | Well, it won't last. Well, I had help. Well, I had some luck. And we don't really fully embrace |
| 2:18.8 | what it is we have done in our lives. There was an exercise that Jack Canfield who wrote the success |
| 2:27.3 | principles had me do when I was reading that book. What was basically going through and writing down |
| 2:33.7 | all the accomplishments of my life. And he said, start with you learned how to walk and you |
