0:38Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to The Daily Motivation Show.

0:51For those who are super achievers that know how to either make money or build a business or accomplish things, what is blocking them from their freedom emotionally if they're able to achieve but unable to align with their higher calling or with their mission? If they're achievement masters, but they haven't figured out peace and freedom, what is blocking them from feeling that when they've mastered achievement? Well, first is I would say they've mastered achievement, but they don't feel it yet. it's talking to everybody in this room who you've had success already and you still don't feel like a success because we don't teach people how to integrate success so you might have a lot of wins a lot of victories but if you've never taught yourself how to debrief it think about it internalize it and connect that to your identity and your character a lot of people what's blocking is they're still striving to feel what they already achieved.

1:52They're still trying so hard to feel good or adequate or worthy. They've done it. The track record shows it, but they don't feel it because they've never allowed it in. Why don't people allow the success in or the accomplishment? Why do they have to go to the next thing right away without celebrating it or saying, oh man, I actually did a good job here and I can take it in? Because our society is not good at celebrating success. Look at how we demonize all the top earners. Look how we demonize the top people in government, culture, records. It's like, as you know, it's like, the bigger you get, the more that criticism comes out for no reason.

2:29You know, it just comes out. And so you're like, oh, do I want that? So they're scared. They're scared. And they're not taught to celebrate the wins because, oh, if you celebrate your win, that's ego. And so, so few people, I actually, believe this. Most people have never genuinely celebrated their life. They have a birthday. They've had 50 of them. They've never genuinely celebrated and praised and felt an integrated life. God's hope for them, God's breath, God's grace. And if it's not God, they've just never took in that spiritual time. If you never felt life, how are you supposed to feel like the achievements matter?

3:14People have victories, but they never felt the victory. They're just on to the next battle, next battle, next battle, next battle. So you have to teach people first to feel. You really have to teach people to feel. And so once we can get that block out, okay, now you can feel it, okay? Let's celebrate some of the wins. Let's recognize it, which sounds so corny. It just works because what most people want, this is my secret. I was like, how do you get these clients? I go, well, I know one thing is true for all humans and it is the ultimate purpose we're all here for, at least I believe. And that is if you've been granted life, the purpose is life.

3:52Another word is aliveness. What everybody wants is more aliveness. What they're usually chasing in the next thing is more aliveness. The bigger risk, the bigger deal, the bigger adventure, the bigger novelty, the bigger complexity, the bigger bank, the bigger, it's like they, like the chase makes them feel alive. And so the chase is important. So we just got to make sure they're chasing the right thing, right? We are goal-driven species. We have this drive to achieve and build and create and expand. So you have to honor that. We just, and I want you to feel, I want that, we call it meaningful pursuits.

4:27We want you to have a meaningful pursuit that brings you alive. And sometimes it takes a while to figure that out. And the block is they're busy in the wrong chase. They're in the wrong hunt. They're literally playing a game that isn't even what matters to them. They just got taught that. Or the kids who went to that college they went to that was fancy did that. Or those guys on Wall Street would do that. Or this guy I'm neighbors with who has this thing. And now they're playing games that are stupid that don't bring meaning or aliveness and if you don't have meaning and aliveness the worst thing is you start making even worse choices because now you resent other people so now you got to compete with them to beat them in games that don't matter does anyone hear what i'm talking about it's like this is why alignment and finding the feeling what what brings you alive a little bit what what me what what has meaning to you.

5:22That's where the wealth is. What brings you alive, what brings you meaning, that's where the wealth is.
