Lewis Howes

I'm just saying address what the real thing is.

Because what you're really looking for is the inability to handle rejection.

Classic to-me pattern.

So you learn how to handle rejection.

Why?

Because if somebody rejects you, there's a difference between rejecting a person and rejecting their idea, their concept.

And you realize that all people can ever do, Lewis, is project from their own model of the world onto you.

Somebody comes up and calls you an asshole.

Is that about you or about them?

Yeah, exactly.

They're having a bad day.

You look at that with compassion and understanding this person's in so much pain, so much chaos or whatever's going on that they've got to express their frustration to people they don't even know in ways that are potentially offensive or damaging.

You hold compassion for that rather than judgment or reaction.

And you've got a different way of engaging in life.

The wealth is not the issue.

The number is not the answer.

Again, 700 million antidepressants.

And when you understand what money is, it can give you an insight.

See, the two things that most humans stress about the most are money and time.

And the only place in the universe they mean anything is in the mind of a human being.
