This is The Daily Mastermind and I am back with your daily dose of inspiration, motivation, and education. I hope you're having a phenomenal week. You know, I want you to realize that, I'm going to just start you right with the quote of the day, I want you to realize that no matter what happens to you, it ain't over. That's Steve Harvey. No matter what happens to you, it ain't over. If you don't quit on your goals and dreams, it's going to happen. I hope you're excited about today. It's Friday. Friday, you know, every day we're going to get you that education and inspiration to be able to help you with your day, but you're going into the weekend. I want you to make sure that you don't give up on pursuing your goals and dreams, the life that you want to live on the weekend, just because it's the weekend. So many people, they're working and grinding during the week and then they're realizing that you know the weekend's here and they go play but for those of you that are high achievers those of you that are listening to this podcast those of you that really want more you're creating your life every day you're always doing things to try to live your best life and so today I want to by the way don't forget to download the daily mastermind mobile app because I'm going to be adding a whole bunch of content over the weekend and so you'll be really excited to see some of the courses and ebooks that we put in there. But this week, we're going to be covering one last day of daily reminders. This is something that my mentor, Robert Stuburg, would talk about consistently. And since we're trying to surround ourselves with positive, successful people, I thought no better way to honor his memory, since he's no longer around, than to talk about daily reminders. So let's ask you a question. Let's get you started here. Do you ever get caught up in the opinions of other people. Do you ever get caught up in the opinions of other people? Because everybody does. Do you play for the expectations of other people? Do you adjust your day? Do you adjust your goals? Do you adjust your beliefs? Do you do things to be able to get the attention of other people? Because if you are and you don't even realize it, I want you to stop it. Because the only thing worse than accepting other people's limiting beliefs or delusions is accepting them yourself. And so, you know, there's this quote, argue for your limitations and sure enough, they're yours. And it's so true. The bottom line is if you if I can emphasize enough so many people are playing on social media and they out at their jobs and they trying to do things for everyone else and they've got to start doing it for themselves. And today I want to talk to you about two things. First, I want to talk to you about a topic that's coming up lately a lot and that is people that are dealing with situations in pain. So I want to talk to you about how to deal with pain. And the second thing is I want to talk to you about how to focus on five powerful emotions that I mentioned yesterday. And these are emotions that I think can really help you to navigate your life and create your best life ever. So the first thing I want to do is let's talk about how to deal with pain. So how do you deal with pain? Well, listen closely. I want you to really write this down. If you're not driving, you deal with it. That's the secret. Most people never deal with their pain. Most people just bury it deep down inside. Have you guys ever seen that movie with Dwayne, the rock Johnson, um, and called central intelligence with Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson. And, you know, he was this kind of big fat kid in school. They made fun of. And then later on, he turns out to be, you know, the rock basically he's, you know, built and he's muscular and everything. And, and Kevin Hart is like, what happened to you? I mean, he says, well, you know, all that pain that I had, I just took it and I buried it deep down inside. and then I went to the gym and worked out every single day all day long for 30 years. You know, the bottom line, I thought that was kind of funny, but at the end of the day, you will have to deal with your pain. And the only way to really deal with pain is to just deal with it. Because here's the deal, my friends. Pain is just part of life, but suffering is not. I want you to listen to that one more time. Pain is just a part of life. You can't avoid it. But suffering is not. And all of you, all of you that are still dealing with your pain, you're still dealing with that suffering. You're still hanging on to that stuff in the past. You've got to get rid of it. You've got to learn to deal with your pain and move on. Because the past is in the past. Grow from it. Learn from it. But you don't have to accept the suffering. You don't have to accept the suffering, I'm here to tell you. And there's ways to do that. Surround yourself with the right people. get going through the motions use your daily rituals to push you past all of that pain that you may be experiencing and I promise you you can get through it because like I told you yesterday problems are never permanent they they not permanent so let me talk to you today about these five powerful emotions I mentioned yesterday that are going to guide your philosophy They going to guide you to creating your best life These are the emotions that I would consistently, in fact, I've got on my desk. I've got them written down so that I always see them. Because I know these are things that if I can hang on to those, I'm going to create my best life. I'll be able to handle anything. And just to remind you, it was faith, courage, resolve, compassion, and gratitude. Faith, courage, resolve, compassion, and gratitude. So faith. Faith, look, believe that there's a reason and a purpose for everything, even if you don't understand what the reason is. Have faith. Faith is a decision. Belief happens with your experience over time, but faith is a decision to believe that there's a reason and things happen for a purpose. Courage. listen to me, believe that you can overcome anything that comes your way. Anything that comes your way. I mean, think about how much you've been through in your life. Think about how many times you've overcome things. You have greatness inside of you and you haven't even tapped the true abilities of everything that you can do. Believe that you can do it and just step up. You know, you're going to find your courage along the way. You don't get courage and then act. You act and then you get courage. Just remember that. Number three, resolve. Create a level of resolve in your life. Believe that only quitting means you're going to fail. Only quitting. Be resolved. Don't just make a decision. Make a commitment. But be resolved that no matter what, you're going to finish what you started. You are going to finish what you started. And then four, have compassion. because you've got to believe that helping others is also success. Show love and empathy for other people. Too many times people are what whiff them. It's what's in it for me. They're out to get something rather than give something. Show a little love and empathy. People are struggling. People are having a hard time. You don't always have to get your way. You don't always have to come out on top. Show a little love. Show a little empathy. and when you have that extra compassion, I think it goes a long way for you in every area. Business, life, and everything. Show some compassion. And the last one, this is probably the most powerful one of all, gratitude. So many people right now are dealing with depression and anxiety and stress and I learned a long time ago that the power of gratitude is real If you dealing with some things and you got a bunch on your mind and you stop and you just start to make a list of things you're grateful for. Number one, if you can't make a list of things you're grateful for, then that's your problem right there because you have so many things to be grateful for. But make a list of things you're grateful for. Believe that it's a miracle that you are even here and that you are where you are and that you have the opportunities that you have, be thankful for what you have. Express your gratitude. Gratitude is the best antidote to depression and anxiety. Gratitude. So here's the deal. What do you really want in life? What do you want? What do you want in your life? Think about it. Now bet whatever that is, the house, the money, the success, the fulfillment, the recognition, the relationship, the travel, the peace, this health, whatever it is. I'll bet that everything that you want is really the emotions that those things are going to give you. The emotions that those things are going to give you. And here's the crazy thing is that you can have those emotions right now. Think about when you were really happy. Tony Robbins does this at his events. He'll have everybody close their eyes, put on a little music, dim the lights, and he'll ask you to think about a time that you were completely happy, that you were so, you know, one of the happiest moments of your life. Feel it. Think about it. Because that emotion's real when you have that in your mind. And you can experience those now. So when you focus on faith and courage and resolve and compassion and gratitude, you're creating your best life. But you're also finding a way to create the emotions that are going to help you the most. So can you do me a favor this weekend? find ways to create more emotions in your life that you love and that you you feel will help you to create your best life and share the show share this show with somebody that you feel will benefit or that whether you feel they benefit or not share it with someone because we're trying to make impact here and i know that if you've gotten anything out of this episode then other people will too and i appreciate you doing it mean the world to me and i hope you have an amazing week i look forward to talking with you next week.
