Lewis Howes

The wounded psychology in your nervous system is gonna scream at you and say, ah, you're gonna die if this person doesn't like you for a moment.

But I'm telling you, I feel more free at this season of my life having less and less friends or having less and less people needing to like me.

Now, listen, I have lots of relationships.

I have lots of quality friends.

I have lots of extended friends and an extended network, but I only have so much time in my life.

I'm married.

I've got kids.

I've got my business.

I've got my team.

I've got my passion of pursuing the Olympics.

I've got workout.

There's always so much time where I can say yes to people.

And the people that are closest to me right now, I say yes to first.

I say yes to my goals and my dreams and the actions that I need to take on those.

I say yes to my team here in my business that I spent a lot of time at and we're working to impact people in a positive way.

I say yes to my wife, to my kids, to my family.

And I say yes to a few core guy friends in my life that I see once in a while where we play pickleball, we work out, we hang out, we do activities together.

But other than that,

I don't have much time to say yes.

I don't have more time in the day to say yes.
