How To Build Unshakeable Belief When Everything Says You Shouldn't | Myron Golden

0:00From premieres April 19th on MGM+. In a small, inescapable town, understanding the monsters may be the only way out. Desperate hope may lead residents toward even darker truths. I think they're dealing to make us afraid. Well, then it worked. Something ancient is feeding off of their suffering, and it won't stop. Survival will demand impossible choices. From season four premieres April 19th on MGM+. us. Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

0:42How can someone listening right now when they see that there's wars or injustice, all these people are dying around the world, these wars, these challenges, how can I believe that this is the best thing from God? I'm going to give you two answers. How can I believe that water's wet? It doesn't matter if I believe it or not. It's wet. That's the first answer. Here's the second answer. If God cannot lie and he is good and he says he's good, if I really believe that he is the God he says he is, then he's the one that's sovereign, not me. I can trust him even when I can't understand him. And I think here's the difference between me and anybody else you're going to talk to probably about God and about their faith.

1:29I'm not trying to get you to believe what I believe, believe it or don't believe it. But the belief that I have, oh, it's unshakable. God is sovereign. It's so fascinating. I mean, I could give you a really long drawn out theological answer to the question you just answered, but the best answer is if God is really God, like the supreme being and the creator of everything, he can do pretty much whatever he wants to. When I was a kid, I used to build model cars. I don't know if you ever did that or not, but I used to build model cars. We didn't have the internet. Okay. But guess what else I would do?

2:08I'd take them in the basement and blow them up with firecrackers. Right. Why? Well, why would you do that? You just spent all that time. I don't know. I wanted, I wanted to see what's going to happen. I'm not saying God wants to see what's going to happen. I'm just saying, But God is God. If he is really God and he really owns everything, then when he wants me to know why it's working the way it's working, when he believes it's time for me to find out, then I'll find out. You'll find out. There's something you've said, the word you've said multiple times in the last few minutes. Okay. And part of your team was asking me some questions before you got in here and we were chatting.

2:40And one of the questions they said, you know, you've interviewed all these people, all these experts over the years. like what's the one thing maybe they don't say in the interviews that you've noticed that makes them you know accomplish and be great and achieve what they achieve and right away i just said belief you know 100 belief and this is something you've said over and over now it's like this belief i believe it's possible to make more money with less work i believe in this i believe you can make more in less time once you shifted belief right then you had to just see how you could do it, the opportunities.

3:15And you can decide to believe. I decided to believe it's easier to make a lot of money in a short period. Yeah. Yeah. And so how did you get to a place of belief? Great question. When you're working as a garbage man, when you're struggling, when you've got, you know, you got polio and you got, yeah, a leg that doesn't work. When you've got all you, I think you were born in a segregation hospital. Segregated hospital. Yeah. Like when all these things are against you. But are they? Well, when they perceive to be against you. There you go. When you could tell a story to yourself that this was against me.

3:51Look how hard this is. Look at this challenge. Look at, I'm only making$6.50 an hour. I'm only. $6.25, bro. $6.25 an hour. It's going to be impossible. But thanks for the race. Right. Exactly. But when you, when we, when we hold onto a story. Right. Of belief that things were against us. How do we shift it to believe they're actually for us? Right. You can decide to believe that everything that happens to you happens for you. You can decide to believe that. So whether it's true or not, you can just decide. You can decide to believe. Yeah. It could be because people believe things that aren't true.

4:19That's right. Whether it's true or not. I happen to know it's true. Yeah. And I'll tell you why I know it's true. So, and I'll tell you how I developed the sense of certainty that I have over the 64 years of being on this planet. So, um, one is I believe that the Bible is truth because when I started reading it, I thought I was going to find religion and I found principles and I found a lot of in the coding world we call if then go to statements, conditional promises. If this happens, then do this. And I started testing those if then go to statements when I was a kid, when I was 16 years old, I was testing them.

4:57I remember the very first one I tested, Proverbs 15, one, a soft answer turneth away wrath, but grievous words sharp anger. And I remember doing something in particular to take off my brother, Mike. He was, he was hacked. He was hot. He came in guns blazing, man, I can't believe it. I was like, wow, man, you know what? You're right. I shouldn't have done that. Yeah. You know what? I'm not going to let that happen again. Sorry I did that. It's not going to. And he just kind of deflated and walked away. I was like, that was amazing. It worked. It worked. It worked. It did exactly what the Bible said it would do.

5:27But there are literally hundreds of biblical principles like that, that I've tested since I was 16 years old. I've never had one fail.
