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

How can one learn to break an interpretation that they've lived a life of pain, sadness, and suffering, not deny the experience that happened to them,

but not define them moving forward and holding them back from the abundance that they want to

create in their life.

That's the beauty of our humanist and our divinity. We have the ability to choose. We must accept

the responsibility with that choice that we choose not to be defined by our past.

That was a choice. It was a conscious choice I made when I was young. I looked at my father's

life. I looked at the destruction, the emotional destruction. I looked at what it was doing to me.

And I said, now, my younger brother, and I love my brother. And if he's watching this,

I haven't talked to you for a while, brother, but I love you. He carries that hurt and allows that

to define his life. And so all of the misfortune, and this isn't nothing new, you've heard this,

all the misfortunes, the bad relationships, the bad jobs, whatever it is, it's somebody else's fault.

You know, you're looking around you for the reasons.

And that is a fundamental shift in understanding our relationship to the world.

We must choose consciously or subconscious.

I'm not saying it's always a conscious choice, but on some level we choose to be world. We must choose consciously or subconscious. I'm not saying it's always a conscious

choice, but on some level, we choose to be defined by what the circumstances of the past,

or we choose to free ourselves. Human divinity is what allows us to do that. If we don't have

our human divinity, the ability to innovate, to imagine, to create, to love.

Those are all, these are all facets of human divinity.

You begin to see why it's so important for us to preserve, to claim and preserve our humanists, our bodies.

I think perhaps the greatest task that we're given
