Lewis Howes 0:00
Welcome back my friend to another special episode on the School of Greatness. And I'm actually in Spain right now working on something that is a big dream for me. I'll be sharing more about it soon. If you're on social media, you might see me talking about it here in the next week or so. So feel free to stay tuned for what's happening there. But I just want to remind you that if you're not living fully in your life right now, if you feel stuck in some way, then ask yourself, am I doing everything I can to pursue the thing that I know I'm meant to do. And maybe you can't do all of your time pursuing it, but am I taking steps on a daily basis? Am I spending 10 minutes allowing myself to work on it? Am I doing it on the weekends?

Am I actively planning to take steps in the future when I'm going to have more time to do it? If you're not doing it, you might feel like something's off. If there's a dream inside of you to write a book, to start creating content, to mentor young kids, whatever it might be, and you're not doing it, just get started a little bit. Start writing down a little bit of a game plan and start taking these steps. I'm in Spain working on this dream right now that I envisioned and planned nine months ago. Nine months ago, I wrote this down. At the end of last year, I wrote down on my calendar for this year that I will be in Spain this month. And I'm actively taking steps. I couldn't do everything nine months ago towards this dream, but I took steps that I could take, and then I planned to take action now. And I'm telling you what, I've been here for two weeks. I've been working on this dream of mine, and it's been a lot of hard work. It's not been easy. It hasn't been enjoyable every second because sometimes big dreams take time.

Sometimes you need to fail and fumble along the journey in order to grow, to develop, to get better, to improve, to put yourself out there. And again, I've talked about this so many times that failure does not mean you're a loser. It's just feedback. It's information telling you what you need to still learn to improve, to get the results and the success that you want. So just because you're failing right now or you're not accomplishing or you haven't arrived to the results you want right now, that shouldn't be something you are sad about. It should be something that you celebrate because it means you actually have the courage to take the actions even when you weren't perfect, even when you weren't talented, even when you weren't great yet. And that's awesome.
Lewis Howes 2:26
It's okay. That's what it takes. It takes you taking those steps, fumbling, failing along the way, and then saying, okay, I'm just going to take the information from this day and get better tomorrow. And then you come back and do it again. It doesn't mean the big dream is going to happen overnight, but it is a process. And if you can trust the timing of your life, trust knowing that the reason it hasn't happened yet is because you still need to learn something. You still need to develop. You still need to take action on things. And these things might take time. The bigger the dream, the longer it is it usually takes and the harder it is to get there sometimes. But it doesn't mean you can't enjoy the process, the moments and the days along the journey. So I want to remind you this. If you're feeling like something's been off and you're like, ah, you feel out of alignment within your soul because you know you're not taking the actions, start planning and start prepping by taking steps daily and failing daily towards your dreams.

How can I start pursuing my dreams?

Lewis Howes 3:22
Again, this episode is all about manifesting. It's about creating the abundance and the life within your authentic power. And you may not feel powerful because you're not being authentic. You're not being authentic because you're not taking action in pursuing the thing that you truly desire, what your heart truly wants. And you know what it wants, but you might just be too afraid to take the actions to go after it. So just allow yourself to take a little bit of action. You don't have to have all the time in the world to go all in. a little bit of action, your soul is going to thank you. Your spirit is going to thank you.
