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

I don't think it was ever I just didn't love myself. There were times obviously be angry

with yourself or frustrated with yourself or thinking, you know, I'm not doing enough. I mean, I can remember

in my birthdays, to be honest with you, probably up to my 40th birthday I remember turning 40 I was

really really unhappy I was like Jesus I've not done enough I've not helped enough

people I know tens of millions of people at that point already have done all over the earth in 100 plus countries at that point,

but it was still kind of stuck in my head.

So I would earn the love by over delivering, change somebody's life, like, I don't get it because somebody says oh I love you Tony I mean I appreciate that

or oh you're the greatest it's got to be my standard my standards higher than their standard for me

Right so when I get up and someone's gonna kill themselves and it's their suicidal and boom turn around and they're no longer not going to kill themselves but they're transformed their life is there

You know that's when I go okay. You know now we've hit the center of what I'm made for.

Now, you know, I deserve to feel this euphoric feeling within myself and appreciation.

And even then I still know it's God coming through me.

I don't have the delusion, it's just me.

I think sometime after 40, I finally saw the stupidity of it I accumulated enough

that I looked at life with fresh eyes and I can say by time I turned 60 a year ago I

noticed it was interesting because my birthday I didn't have an ounce of it I was just like you know how could I at this stage of my life when I've had the privilege of serving so many humans in so many contexts you know from, from turning around, you know, guys are going to kill

himself with PTSD to helping kids turn around to getting kids off cocaine or adults to, you know,

helping people build multi-billion dollar businesses from nothing and when I've lived this long

I can't go by without hearing half a dozen stories a day or a dozen stories a day from people

telling me how something I did change their life so it's not that I'm so smart now it's

just I stacked it but way the stacking is the way you can do things most of us
