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

The idea is that we need to be more and let the doing flow from there.

Be yourself. Be your authentic self. Be here now, be grateful, be present. And let the

doing flow from those, that orientation is a completely different model. I'm spending my life

efforts, I think, working to share that and to help some of the best doers and thinkers in the

world to reorientate what got them good, but is slowing them down from being their

absolute personal best. What's slowing them down? Fear and fatigue, still? The psychological

framework that I need to do more to be more. And that's born out of anxiety. And the trick, though,

is that that'll get people good. I need to do more. It's like just enough anxiety

will get you good, but it will slow you down for being your absolute best at some point.

Why do we fear so much about what could go wrong? What other people think about us, who we're

going to let down, that we're not worthy enough, good enough? Why do we fear that? So there's

some biological things we can take a look at,

and then there's also psychological, right? And then so it's the interaction of those two. Biologically,

our brain, as best as we think, and it's three pounds of silly putty that sits in our skull

that's more complicated than, you know, like the brightest minds in neuroscience are still amazed by how our brain works.

But we think that our brain is designed to scan the world and find what's dangerous.

Right.

And so our ancestors pass that gift onto us, your lineage passed that gift onto you, that they were able to survive.

And so how survived way back in ancient times that they could scan the world and find what was

dangerous or what was threatening so that they wouldn't be eaten.

Then not only was nature dangerous and all the elements of nature, but other humans became dangerous to each other.
