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

0:48What do you think is the thing that holds us back the most from actually having everything we want and being fulfilled? Being abandoned. I think on a very primal level, if we are abandoned, we die. Being rejected is about being abandoned. Changing your identity, which you have to do in order to change who you're being, right? The fear of that is abandonment. If you change who you are, the people who love you, love you for who you are right now. You know, and this is honestly, I have yet to do a talk and a Q &A where the question does not come up, where somebody says, what do you do when the people closest to you don't support your growth, right?

1:25Most common question ever. The reason it's so common is because when you change who you're being, the people you love are at the greatest risk, right? So Joe Schmo down the street, when you're like, hey, I'm going to quit my job and open up a restaurant, your mother might tell you how risky it is, how restaurants, you know, one out of 10 restaurants succeed and your friends will make fun of you because now you're, you know, think you're Mr. Big Stuff or whatever. But Joe Schmo down the street's like, rock on and you're like why is joe schmo all happy for me when the people who allegedly love me are dragging me down and it's because subconsciously mostly they're afraid that you're going to change and they're going to lose you and you're basically killing off your old identity is who's the person they love right and they also this is also part of it they're no longer right and they love to be right they are right about who you are and if that changes and they They also love to be right about the fact that you can't do something like that.

2:21That's risky and scary. But the bottom line is a lot of people stay small. They won't go after their hopes and dreams because they don't want to risk losing the people closest to them. We've got to be right. We love being right. And our words reinforce our rightness. So whatever our thoughts and beliefs are, our words are sort of building a foundation of a reality, right? They are the building blocks of our realities. So for example, when I was living in the garage, my mantra was, I can't afford it. I said I can't afford it 600 times a day. And so when I decided I was going to get rich, I was like, you know, ditch the old I can't afford it and come up with a new mantra.

3:04So of course, the first step is awareness. And then to write the new mantra, you have to go deep into what I can't afford it was protecting me from, what my fears were around being able to afford it. My new mantra ended up being money flows to me easily and freely. And I really want to point out that when I was living in the garage, eating tuna out of a can, money was not flowing to me easily and freely, right? So that whole belief thing was definitely a stretch. But I loved freedom and flow. Like for me, all of my I can't afford it It was around being constrained and bad and like blocking myself.

3:46So the flow, ease and freedom, when I did the whole little process of figuring out my mantra, that's what gave me the feeling of just like, oh yeah, that feels great. So how the mantra works then is I am now looking to money flows to me easily and freely. So every time I wanted to say I can't afford it, I would say money flows to me easily and freely. and because I am a human and I still love to be right I now set about proving that money flows to me easily and freely instead of proving right yeah right so I find a dollar on the street money flows to me easily and freely I'd get some crappy freelance writing job money flows to me easily and the other thing it did is it brought into my radar stuff that was all always there but because I was so busy proving I can't afford it and we are doing this all the time without realizing it I was literally, I put on the blinders because if it didn't fall into, I can't afford it, then I couldn't even see it.

4:42So all the stuff that was always there, that was going to help me make money. Like for example, the coach that I ended up hiring who totally changed my life. I can't afford it. I can't afford it. It's how it's a third of my annual income. But when I started saying money flows to me easily and freely, I had to hire her because money flows to me easily freely so it really kicks your butt in such a great way if you're really serious about it and if you write a mantra that feels really good you do not have to believe the mantra at first.
