Lewis Howes

Say it to my face.

Come say this to my face and let's have a conversation.

We don't need to fight.

How do you manage it emotionally and manage your emotions when you see something that maybe is seeming unfair or just mean?

And maybe you're not doing it the best way yet, but you're on the journey.

And we're seeing, hearing, and reading them in a very elaborate manner with a lot of, I don't know, emotion.

It's like we used to read or see things or hear stories without watching the news in such a way that was dramatized to its worst point to get the attention.

This is one of the reasons I don't really watch the news ever.

I wanna be informed and educated, but I don't wanna be entertained or captivated by my emotions, overwhelmed by watching information as entertainment.

And so I try to step back and say, tell me the facts, tell me the data so that I can have a rational thought around it.

Otherwise I'll get tied into just watching the news and be like, the world is ending.

Yeah, yeah.

I grew up in a religion called Christian Science and the founder is a female.

Her name is Mary Baker Eddy and she had a quote that said, stand Porter at the door of thought.

Don't allow these thoughts to enter the mind continuously because then it'll damage everything in your life.

So stand Porter at the door of thought.

Be a guard at the thought, at the mind.

And don't just allow anything to be consumed by it.

What has been the biggest struggle then for you mentally and emotionally in the last couple years?

What is the mountaintop?
