Hey, my friends, it's Brendon Burchard. And welcome to a special episode of the Brendon show where we jump into some of the best of my motivational quotes. Hey, y', all, y' all been asking for this for a long time and we finally put it together for you. Every single day, I do a new 60 second audio sort of of my best quotes or of coaching that we put on Instagram. And I have just gotten such an outpouring of love for these. As you can see, each of them.
Tends to get, you know, tens and.
Tens of thousands or tens of tens of tens of thousands of views. So much love for these. And basically what I've done is I. If you haven't seen it, please follow me on Instagram. Brendon Burchard. And what I like to do is post an actual quote of mine that I've written from one of my six books or, you know, the thousands of blogs and articles that I've done. And what I like to do is just grab a little bit of a quote, maybe it's two to three sentences. And so I read the quote on Instagram and then I just go off on that quote for like 60 seconds. So literally just one minute of fire as much as I can pretty much every single day on Instagram that I created originally. And people just wanted like a roundup of those. So finally somebody actually DM me on Instagram and said, man, you should do a mashup of all these on your podcast. These are like friggin inspiring. They're insightful, they're motivational because they're some of the best of what I've written. And I think you'll really enjoy these. It's kind of a funny format because each of them was only 62nd. And we're stringing together a bunch of them from this week for you right here in what we're gonna call the motivational quotes episodes. I hope you'll really enjoy that. So without further ado, enjoy these 60 seconds of motivation for your day, my friend. If you really like these, make sure you're following me on Instagram.

If you have not learned it yet, listen, toxic people will not be changed by the alchemy of your kindness. Yes, be kind, but move on swiftly and let life be their educator. I don't mean not to try to be kind to people and I don't mean not to try to help people, support them or cheer their on. But notice the word here, toxic people. If they are stuck in that place where they are just poisoning you, your relationship, your life, realize that that's where they're at right now. And you can spend a tremendous amount of time trying to change them, trying to make everything happen for them, or you can let them live their life and let life be their educator. Again, you can try, but just be aware that that might be where they are at.
So don't let it hamper you from.
Being your best self and living your best life.
Move on.
Keep moving your life forward even if other people don't quite get it and are stuck in their own space.
Look, there's not many more thoughts that are more profound in our life than this. So listen. Sometimes in our own self protection, we block out the very thing we so desperately desire. Sometimes as we seek to protect ourselves, protect our ego, protect how we feel every single day, we block out the ability to actually feel life right. When we put up our guard, what do we do? We block out that very thing we want connection with other people. When we get buttoned up, proper stoic. When we get in that place where we're trying to, you know, hide our emotions or dampen our emotions so that we feel okay so we don't have to feel vulnerability, what do we block out? Connection, vibrancy, life, heightened emotion. So be wary of how you protect yourself because you being more buttoned up or being more stiff isn't giving you more access to more joy and freedom in life.
Listen, sometimes the ultimate fault is you're making every new situation some new situation.
When the truth is in all cases, stay focused.
Be your best self.
Make the day count, my friend. I mean, listen to that. Doesn't that solve so many of our problems? Hey man, stay focused. Does that solve so many problems? Be your best self. Does that solve so many problems?
Take the day seriously.
Make this day count. Often common sense is not common practice and that's why so many people fail to ever reach their full potential. And if you think of all the problems you're having Right now. Sometimes you're too distracted. So the universe doesn't deliver what you.
Want because based on all your distractions.
It'S unsure what you're asking for. And sometimes your big mistakes keep happening because you're not being your best self. You're not making the next right action of integrity and you throw away too many days. So let's get focused, let's be ourselves and let's make this day count. My friend.
If you are always in a state of hurry, anxiety, stress and busyness, then what energy are you teaching others to adopt? I always like to tell people, please be responsible for the energy you are projecting into the world. We each have a choice about how we feel and what emotions we choose to cultivate in our life over a period of time. We also get to choose what energy we project and throw at other people. And going day by day just through the motions, being a reactive person, getting angry at everything, getting upset. I've been there and that's no way to live your life. The great choices of life are the ones where you say these things. Hurry, anxiety, stress are not going to be part of my life anymore. I'm going to learn to manage my internal reality. I'm going to take control of how I think, feel and behave. That is true freedom.
Look, if your guard is up, let it down. If you've constructed a defensive wall to protect yourself and keep all the bad guys out, don't forget who that wall also prevents from getting in. The good guys sometimes listen. In our own self protection, we end up becoming stiff, distant, aloof, detached. We end up putting on masks, hiding behind lies, not being ourselves, hiding our own joys and authenticity and true thoughts, feelings, needs and desires with the world. Which makes us what? Unhappy? Which makes us what? Fake? Which makes us what? Not able to truly enjoy this beautiful life. Sometimes our own self protection. We block out the very thing we so desperately desire, Connection.
So let the walls down.
I just won't let others stoke fear in my heart. I choose to remain, you know, true.
To who I am and where my.
Dreams direct me, no matter the hardship I might incur. Because I remember it always. Fear wins or freedom wins and I choose freedom. I can choose to wake up and be fearful and worrisome about what everybody else thinks, what they expect of me, what they demand of me, how much obligation I have, how many responsibilities I have for others. Because obviously I run a big brand.
With lots of businesses and lots of teams and employees and I've got all.
These people around the world who count.
On my books or my blog posts.
Or my videos or something for inspiration. And yes, of course, there's times when people start, like saying, well, what if it crashes down? Or what if you're no good anymore?
Or what if this doesn't last?
And I just think, I'm not going to let you make me fearful. What I'm going to do is remain true.
This is what I do.
This is who I am. This is my dream. And my dreams will direct me. That's freedom. Believing in that personal freedom versus other people's expectations.
