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

Today's episode is all about unlocking the power of your mind.

Having a growth mindset is one of the most crucial decisions you can make in your life.

Mental toughness can allow you to respond instead of react.

To be in control instead of out of control,

and give you the endurance you need to follow your dreams.

Alfred Adler, the psycho analyst, the associate of Freud, built his whole theory around inferiority complex plus compensation. You tell a story about being picked last and then you

compensated for that. You got picked last and embarrassed the hell out of you. So what

did you do? You decided that is not going to be me ever again right ever again so the first thing I would say is that if you feel insecure and less and ashamed and all of that you have to take stock.

Okay, well if you have some faults and you feel insecure and inferior because of that,

well you should.

Now it shouldn't be so much that you're crippled by it and unable to take action.

You shouldn't be beating yourself into the ground because you're not everything you could be, because no one is.

And if you beat yourself into the ground, then you can't get up and improve.

But you have to differentiate it's like okay to what degree am I being hard on myself,

counter-productively critical, how much of my self-criticism is ill-advised.

Fair enough, and you want to deal with yourself with a certain amount of care,

but then along with that, there's well fix your weaknesses and inadequacy is a pathway that you can travel down right a recognized inadequacy is as soon it's such a gift in some sense if if it's accurate because you think well what should I do

What should I do with my life? That's a real complicated question. Oh here's an inadequacy

Excellent you have a, you have a goal now, rectify it.

And if someone is goalless, lazy, unmotivated, not sure what they want to do. What would be a few key steps

to get started to turn the life around or to find the motivation for something greater than where they're at.
