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

I believe there's something fundamentally broken in the nature of the world.

It's easy to not think that if you live in America, but leave the country for a little bit. Right.

You know, there's something fundamentally broken in the world.

So I don't think in this world you're going to get away from suffering.

And then there's also just something funnily broken in our hearts, right?

Because we need more than we are capable of getting.

And so there's a deficiency in all of us. And so for us to say,

gosh, this hurts,

let me turn around and help

other people not have to experience pain as much.

Those are the very people that we call heroes.

That's the characteristic.

Without suffering, you have no opportunity to be a hero. Without pain, there's no story. Without conflict, there's the characteristic. Without suffering, you have no opportunity to be a hero.

Without pain, there's no story.

Without conflict, there's no story.

Buddy mine, he lives here in L.A.

He loves to play volleyball.

And he gets a call, and he says, hey, come down to the beach.

We're playing volleyball.

All your buddies are here, let's go.

He's like, can't believe this. Walks out, looks down, he sees his buddies playing volleyball down the beach.
