Lewis Howes

So life is non-linear.

The river of life bends.

Every river bends, regardless of topography, every river bends.

So if you're in by me and you're sailing down the river of life towards your goal,

Right, I'm heading north.

And then the river suddenly bends east.

What are you doing by me?

I'll tell you.

I've seen so many people do it.

And by the way, I come at this because in my 20s, I was the by me king.

I was working 130 to 133 hours a week.

I was falling asleep at stoplights.

I was an asshole to work for.

Because everything was about how do I get over the, how do I achieve enough to get over the insecurities as a young man that I felt that I wasn't good enough, which is the primary fear we have.

So if you're going down the river and all of a sudden it takes a left turn, what do you do?

Most people in by me take a shovel off their back and start digging a channel through the bank to try to go through the straight line.

And through me, you surrender to the wisdom of the current.

You go with the flow.

Okay, if this has happened, what do we do next?

You free up the energy of resistance and channel it into what's the next best move.
