Hi my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show. Have you had to heal in the last 10 years your relationship from stuff that happens every year or is it only stuff from 10 years ago that you

guys have to work on? Bro you know the answer to this question man I'm a I'm a flawed

man yeah my wife is a flawed woman. We serve an amazing God. We're people of faith, but he knew we were going to mess up. And there was room in the plan for imperfection.

Like that's what I always tell people because I'm a pastor

and people know I'm a person of faith

and they think I'm just gonna throw the Bible at them all the time.

And what I tell them, was like no no no just first

look at my life I've experienced amazing grace and now I have to extend

amazing grace and I have to receive amazing grace because I'm still gonna mess up.

This is a daily walk, but that's why I tell everybody the beautiful thing about journey

if you can get this stuck in your brain and in your heart really is that this life is about progression

not perfection. I know culture sells us perfection. I know your parents may have

wanted perfection from you. I know you've probably required perfection of yourself, but that is the wrong metric.

This is about progression. How much did you move forward from yesterday to today or

how much did you move past? I know you wanted to cuss them out last week, but you

only said one cuss word this week. You know what I'm saying? Or last year it was about being

successful, you didn't take any breaks, but this year you actually took a few days

and had soul care and self care and spiritual enlightenment and getting back in your place of faith.

Like how did you progress?

And I think for me in all of my relationships,

especially the one with my wife, the one that I'm in covenant with,

I have to know that I'm gonna need grace because I'm still figuring it out.
