| 0:00.0 | Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show. |
| 0:13.4 | How do we learn to have that trust in the faith that there might be something great coming to us? |
| 0:17.8 | When we draw a line in the sand and we say we're not going back to this |
| 0:21.6 | personality we had, these habits, these behaviors, this industry that we were in that served us |
| 0:27.1 | so well for so long. But now I'm saying no to that old way of being and trusting that something |
| 0:33.7 | greater is going to wash over me. How do we trust? Because it could have not happened for you. It could have happened. We might not be sitting here right now. I might not have gone on to do the work that I've been doing since then. I might not have the courage to write the book. I might be that high school football coach that I was thinking about being.
