That nagging feeling of unworthiness—even when you're doing the work—can quietly sabotage your joy, relationships, and momentum. In this episode, Brendon breaks down why that feeling persists and how to finally overcome it by transforming your relationship with your losses and embracing self-acceptance. Through powerful insight and actionable guidance, you'll discover: How to transform losses into greater self-worth. If you don't give yourself grace about the losses in life, you will never feel good about the wins. When you transform failure and inadequacy into a positive direction, your sense of value and competency goes up. Why self-acceptance is the release valve for high achievers. This isn't "woo-woo" ; it's vital for your ability to flow and prevent internal explosion from constant striving without releasing pressure. How to regularly process losses with grace, not shame. You must look back at losses, debrief them, and grant yourself grace. Shaming circumstances or your character makes things wither and die , but grace allows for fluidity, change, and truth. _____________________________________ This episode is a must-listen for anyone who feels like they're constantly striving but never fully arriving. Brendon’s message will help you reconnect with your power, speak to yourself with more compassion, and rewire the way you think about your worth—so you can start showing up as your whole, confident, and congruent self. _____________________________________ Life-Changing Resources: Become a GrowthDay member to unlock daily motivational audio from Brendon, weekly training from the world’s top coaches and experts, exclusive Monday Motivation from Ed Mylett, Brendon AI, and over $5,000 of courses! ⁠⁠https://growthday.go.link/gCW0U⁠⁠ Download Brendon’s famous 1-Page Productivity Guide: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.growthday.com/pdf-g⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ✨ Subscribe now and start your journey to a more fulfilling life! _____________________________________ Follow for more motivation: Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@brendonburchard⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@growthday⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@BrendonBurchard⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@GrowthDayMotivation⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Brendon Burchard⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠GrowthDay⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ _____________________________________ Don’t forget to leave a review and share this episode with someone who needs to hear this!

0:00.0	When I can learn to transform failure, inadequacy, upset, things that didn't go well, and I can
0:06.2	transform them into a positive direction, guess what that does to my worth? My sense of value,
0:12.1	my sense of competency goes up. But if you're always striving for new Ws and avoiding and
0:18.0	abandoning L's, it's why you won't feel worth
0:21.7	because you couldn't transform anything.
0:24.0	If you don't give yourself grace
0:25.6	about the losses in life,
0:27.2	I promise you you will never feel good about the wins.
0:33.5	A lot of people who achieve great things in life,
0:36.6	they operated from what I call the deficiency drive.
0:40.9	So they feel either deficient internally or something externally was deficient and they're rebelling against it.
0:50.0	But other way, something was not right or is not right, and they're fighting against it to
0:56.2	prove value or to prove them wrong.
1:00.2	They're fighting to prove value because internally there's deficiency or to prove they're wrong,
1:05.8	which is rebellion.
1:07.3	But there's a fight, and it's always a fight.
1:10.9	And if you're always in the fight, there's always a win, there's always a loss.
1:14.7	There's always a win, there's always a loss.
1:16.5	There's always a win, there's always a loss.
1:18.4	Season every season, there's W's and L's, W's and L's, W's and L's.
1:22.1	But if you prove your value all the time with the wins, but you don't simultaneously release the pressure on the losses,
1:30.1	you're still going to explode. Does that make sense? See, self-acceptance is the release valve
