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

0:37When you become experienced, become an expert, you become a master. Here's all these extraordinary intangibles. You have more security because people could use your expertise. You have more value. You have more self-confidence. You have more purpose. You have more self-worth, more self-belief. There's all of these intangibles that come along with that that go so far beyond just being really good at something. Right. And the truth of what that is, is you grow into that. But you can't grow into mastery if you don't know what you want to master. True. You know what I mean? And like you just like if you try to choose all of these different things of like what what will be the thing that I want to be best at?

1:27You know, I'll keep trying all these things. And then you just you get a little bit ways and like, oh, I don't know if that's going to deliver on what I want. And you and keep in mind, here's where here's what happens to people that do that. they do not have aligned with who they are, right? Physically, mentally, emotionally, with what they do, right? Their passion, their interest, their finances, their work and how they live, their free time, their adventure, their relationships. The coordination of all of those and the integration of all of those are actually at the core of how you have to build your life design.

2:05Who you are, what you do and how you live. Yeah, because ultimately, if your passion is skeet shooting, but you want to drive a Ferrari, you're never going to connect it. So what you would have to do then is create financial stability at such a level in some other form that limits the amount of time and energy so that you can put your time with that skeet shooting most of the time. You can be working for the weekends if that's where all your energy is from. So what type of job do you choose? You choose one that takes the least effort in the least amount of time that gives you the most capital to live the lifestyle that you can live, that you want to live.

2:47It's the connection of all of those like is actually where, you know, what I'd consider like the extraordinary life lives. Because when you are emotionally fulfilled by doing something that you love, that is your work, and it provides you with the time and space to have the relationships and live the lifestyle you want, that's it. That's where happiness lives and all those things are connected together. right so to me i as i began to see that you know i'm i naturally gravitated towards it but but it really connected for me when it was like like my ambitions are so great why do i need to fly private why do i need like this you know 40 million dollar house and like why do i like want to like do all these crazy exotic adventures right like why did you need these things because i I love them.

3:50And that's like, that's like, and I'll tell you why I needed them. Because I, when I look at myself, and my identity, and what I connect with, like, who I am, that's where my identity, my identity lies, right? Because what happens is a lot of people then get, you know, like the people that boom and bust where their identity is similar to mine, where they love, kind of living on this elevated lifestyle and kind of having the fruits of their work be part of their identity, when those people lose that revenue source, it is where depression and pain and all that because it's tied to their identity.

4:35So to me, I knew it was part of my identity, but I knew that I didn't want to ever risk it. So I knew I had to grow into it.
