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

When someone that goes through the damaged but not destroyed path, and they start facing their traumas or things from their past, they start facing it as opposed to running from it. Yeah. And they start to feel a sense of inner triumph. They start to feel a sense of peace. They start to feel a sense of harmony. They start to feel like their full authentic selves. Yeah. Yeah. And maybe they've gotten out of a couple of bad relationships. And now they did this work because they realized that I'm part of the problem.

I am the problem, right? I'm in all these relationships. Yeah, I'm the only one that keep going to the relationships. And they've taken this time and they've reflected. And now they start going on some dates. They start having some fun. They start connecting with people. They start meeting people. how do they know when they're choosing the right partner for them?

So now you're asking a real big... they start connecting with people, they start meeting people. How do they know when they're

choosing the right partner for them? So now you're asking a real big question. It depends on

where you feel your purpose is. You do not pick partnerships based on pleasure. You pick

partnerships based on purpose. And I think that's where a lot of people get messed up.

There are a lot of people you can be compatible with, but they're not going in the same direction as

you. If me and you were to say right now, let's go to Disney World, there are probably 15 different

paths to get there. Like, and there are some people that are like, well, let me stop way over here and let me go over here.

But if we were riding in the same car together, we would have to go on the same road,

on the same highway, getting to the same place because our purpose was to go to this destination.

I think a big part of my burden for our generation when it

comes to business partnerships, relationships, all those things, is to pick partners for purpose,

not just for pleasure. Yes. Because the pleasure wears off when you get in a pit. Like when it ain't working, when we lost the money, when you used to dress up for me and

now you're looking like a grandma, like all of those things, that's when you have to pick

partners that you remember.

Why do we get together?

What was the purpose of this?

What do we say we were going to do?

And so a lot of times, um, when people are

starting to date and have fun and do all the different things, they're not thinking purpose.
