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

When do you doubt yourself the most?

When I'm tired.

When I'm tired, I think it's probably the cortisol pulsing through my system.

I doubt myself. When I'm in a season in my life where I'm meant to have not productive growth, but spiritual growth, I start to doubt myself.

I actually believe we have a higher power. And a higher

power isn't necessarily God or spirit or the universe, as people call it. I believe we have our

wounded self. Well, like we get knocked around in life. So we forget who we are. So we've got our

wounded self, call it our egoic self, and we've got our heroic self.

And to me, that's our higher power. And every single person on the planet today has a higher self.

This is the part of us that actually knows the answers to our deepest questions. This is the part of us that knows we need to be good.

It's the part of our self that instinct is so much more powerful than intellect. So it's the part of us that is the need to be good. It's the part of ourself, the instinct is so much more powerful

than intellect. So it's the part of us that is the instinct, the silent whispers of, here's what

you should be doing. This higher power is the part of us that's unbreakable, even if physically

were broken. It was Albert Camus, who said, in the midst of winter I discovered

within me an invincible summer. When we do the work to move through the layers and start to

reclaim ourselves, does it happen in a day? No, but day by day by day, we get closer and closer and

closer, we connect with this higher power. And I believe when we let go of control,

and we just say, okay, I'm going to be led by this instinct,

or to be tactical, you know, follow your joy.

But I found in my life there are just seasons.

It could be two years.
