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

Today's episode is here to inspire you to live your best life today. Stories are one of the most powerful tools we have to inspire us. Help us see the world differently and take action towards our dreams.

And here is one that I love. I lost someone really important to me a mentor a few days back. I can't be

positive about that. You can't be happy about it. Yeah, it's hurtful.

You feel sad, you feel lost, but guess what, I can find meaning in it.

Because I can make a list of every lesson he taught me and make a plan to try and live every one of those lessons.

Wow, that's beautiful.

And so if you're in a really tough situation right now,

don't look for positivity, don't look for happiness,

look for meaning.

It helps to just in that moment, and it's in those painful moments that you realize how powerful you are we all know that like you really recognize it and you know I this example has probably been shared before but if you have a wound and you've cut yourself

You can't rush the healing you can't rush it if you broke your arm I mean and you've been

through so many bodily injuries you can't rush the process.

It's going to take six weeks, minimum to heal broken,

yeah, minimum.

And you've got to sit through that.

It's painful.

There's no injections you can take.

There's no videos you can watch.

There's nothing you can listen to. But our challenge is we try to rush through the pain,

rather than reflect through the pain.

We try to rush the healing process too.
