Welcome to Darren Daly on demand, your most trusted resource to help you become better every day.

Here's your success mentor, Darren Hardy.

I flew out of Seattle recently, and it was 10 o'clock in the morning.

But it was cold and it was dark and it was rainy.

Probably not a surprise. But as soon as the plane brought... 10 o'clock in the morning, but it was cold and it was dark and it was rainy.

Probably not a surprise.

But as soon as the plane broke through the cloud layer, guess what?

Yeah, suddenly, this beautiful, warm and welcoming light came streaming through every window of the cap.

It was almost spiritual, in fact.

Above the clouds, it was sunny and clear. Then it hit me. It's always sunny and clear up there. No matter what's happening close to the ground,

sometimes you have to ascend a little higher, but eventually there it is. Sun. I think this is true for our

lives as well. Often we get stuck in the doldrums of our problems and frustrations and the

trials that we experience on the ground of our day-to-day life. And like the human psyche that

doesn't see the sun for a while, sad disease can set in.

The world, our life, feels constantly cold, dark, and dismal. We forget even what the sun once felt like,

that clear, bright, and joyful energy that it brings. But here's the lesson that I want to pass on.

The sun is always shining. Only sometimes you have to leave the ground of your day-to-day trials

and tribulations and ascend above the rain clouds to your higher purpose. Remember remembering the reason why you are here, what you

are here to do and who you are here for. Most of what happens day to day doesn't matter.

And at the end of your days, it will be about how you lived your life and the indelible impact

that you had on those around. So anytime you feel

the rain clouds moving in on you, know that you can get on your mental plane and ascend high
