0:00Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

0:08I have a brand new book called Make Money Easy. And if you're looking to create more financial freedom in your life, you want abundance in your life, and you want to stop making money hard in your life, but you want to make it easier, you want to make it flow, you want to feel abundant, then make sure to go to makemoneyeasybook.com right now and get yourself a copy. I really think this is going to help you transform your relationship with money this moment moving forward. We have some big guests and content coming up. Make sure you're following and stay tuned to this episode of The Daily Motivation Show.

0:51You know, I'm a big believer in visualization. This is something I practice as an athlete to visualize my results before the game would happen, to see myself scoring the touchdown in the track meet. And I'm sure you did a lot of similar things. How important is visualization in abundance? But then also how important is taking action? Visualization is a gift to your heart and your soul. It's a gift. Because if the idea is the seed, visualization is the fertilizer. It's the fertilizer. Because when your thoughts are connected with an emotion, See, you would visualize yourself winning and you would feel all the emotion that came with that.

1:31And all you're doing now is you're not chasing a foreign emotion. You know the feeling. And now you're just doing what's necessary to get back to that feeling in real time. Exactly. And it's really important in the visualization. You can't see it over there. You have to see it right here. You got to feel it right here. Like I am. It's all I am. I am. I am in my dream home. I am in my dream relationship. and then unpack what that looks like. But most importantly, unpack what it feels like. And when you have that emotion in this moment, all of a sudden you stir up something that I don't think will ever go back to sleep.

2:07It'll go, okay, let's go get that. And what it really does is it sets up a state of cognitive dissonance. And cognitive dissonance is when you see something in your mind and you see yourself in a way that your behaviors are not currently leading to. And so your mind becomes disrupted and it goes, okay can we get there right because i'm not there right now i'm not there right now and that's not comfortable your mind wants to literally be congruent what it thinks is what you're doing what it thinks is what you're doing and so when you set up a constant and abundant thinkers like you and i we do it unconsciously we we're constantly keeping ourself in a state of cognitive dissonance meaning okay what else and i'm seeing lisa over there and i'm going okay let me go while being grateful for my now.

2:52It's not in that I'm going to be whole and complete when I get over there. I'm whole and complete now. I just know I'm supposed to be over there. So let me do what's necessary to get over there. And let me evict any behaviors or characteristics that are stopping me and let me adopt any new ones that I need. Right, right. How does someone discover their unique calling? Because you talk about that in the book, discovering your unique calling. What if people are like, I don't even know what I want. I know I want to be out of the place I'm in. I I want to be abundant, wealthy, healthy, great relationships.

3:19But I don't know what my purpose or calling is right now. I think that people put too big of a notion on purpose in that they think that it has to look like a Nelson Mandela or a Mother Teresa or Oprah or you or I. And a lot of times what you're really good at is right in front of you and to recognize that your calling and your purpose can change. And so allow yourself to evolve. Allow your purpose to evolve. what's that thing you do effortlessly that you give no credit to because you're you're just looking past oh it can't be that because it's not hard well how about it doesn't have to be difficult how about the fact that you're a great listener how can you take that and use that and expand that and and don't compare yourself to someone else so a lot of times your gift and your purpose you've discounted it either because someone else discounted it or what's more common is you don't know how to monetize it yes and sometimes the greatest gift you have to give is not for fee it's for free you watch people like you and i and go well why can't i get paid for it well not every gift you're supposed to get paid for nelson mandela did not get paid for leading 27 years when he got out of prison he got paid after that but he was a great leader while he was in prison and martin luther king he was a he he got paid from the church but his rights his fight for civil rights that was a free one and he paid the highest cost and you can go on and on and on to some of the greatest leaders, Mahatma Gandhi, there wasn't a paycheck.

4:43And I know we're scaled down to our version, but don't get attached to having to get paid for your gift. I started this podcast as a way of, I'm going to do this for free for a year. I'm not going to take any sponsors. I'm not going to do anything. I'm not going to sell anything. I'm just going to create and facilitate great conversations. And that's it. And now the money is coming in because of how it's impacted people's lives. And your intention was in the right place. Yeah, but I wasn't like, how can I do this right now to make money? it was how can I serve the maximum number of people? That right there, that when people live in a place of servant leadership, my grandmother said when I was 24, if you leave and how can you serve the most people?

5:22When I sit with my team, I go, how can we serve more people? And that's all our question. Now, as we serve, our platform gets brought up. But how can we serve? Don't tell me how we can make more money. I'm not interested in that. I mentioned how can we serve more? Because if I do the right thing for the right reasons, everything I need will be a byproduct of that. Exactly. So I think we get caught up in, you know, society allows us to have us, has us looking at possessions. And so we begin to measure our joy and our abundance on possessions. Don't pursue the things, pursue the acts of service and everything you need will come.

5:53I promise you.
