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

You are allowed to have a dream and hope for your life, even if it doesn't make sense to anybody else.

You are allowed to want something, you're allowed to pursue something because it makes your heart come alive and it doesn't

matter if your mom understands it or your boyfriend or your wife or your kids it doesn't

matter that it makes sense to anybody else it only matters that it makes sense to anybody else. It only matters that it makes you come a life.

Sometimes having an antihero is just as powerful as having a hero. I think a lot of what propelled me was growing up and thinking I

don't want to be like this, I don't want this life, I don't want these things, I

definitely don't want to be with that kind of person and that propelled me.

Don't let someone in the cheap seats have an expensive opinion in your life.

Don't let someone who's not in the ring get to decide who you are and

what you get to be because those other people are not the ones who are going to

have to live with regret for the rest of their lives.

How do you continue to show up for people

and not be overwhelmed by people?

When I feel overwhelmed, my gut is is like go hide away.

Don't listen to that instinct. You're okay. You're safe. You're on solid ground.

Don't be freaked out. Just stay here stay with it. Keep doing the work.

Whether it was running a marathon or building a business or getting a book deal,

you are in control. You are in control of what happens next.

You choose a good life, you choose a bad life. You are in control of what happens next.

You choose a good life, you choose a bad life,

you choose your perception, you are in control of this.
