Motivational Quotes Week 7 - Hope, Values, Timing

Hey, my friends, it's Brendan Burchard. And welcome to a special episode of the Brendan show where we jump into some of the best of my motivational books. Hey, you 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 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, Richard. And what I like to do is post an actual quote of mine I've written from one of my six books or, you know, the thousands of blogs, articles I've done. And what I like to do is just grab a little bit of a quote, maybe it's two or three sentences. And so I read the quote on Instagram and then I just go off on that quote for like 60 seconds, for 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, said, man, you should do a mashup of all these on your podcast. These are, like, freaking 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 is only 60 seconds. And we're streaming together a bunch of them from this week for you right here in what we're called the Motivation Motivational Quotes episodes. I hope you 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 follow me on Instagram and also just do me a simple favor that I know you guys are liking these. Take a screenshot of where we're listening to this, post it up on your socials, and use TheBrandon Show. That way I can see who's really engaging with these motivational quote sessions. And we'll be doing some giveaways this week and over the next couple weeks. So make sure use the hashtag the Brendon show when you post about these motivational quotes sessions with that. Let's go. Hey, it's your coach, Brendan And I want you to trust me. There's a reason for the timing of everything. And you'll sleep better, my friend. You know, maybe you didn't get that project, or maybe you can't go to that next event, or maybe the deal didn't come through, or maybe some bad news came in and you think, oh, my God, why now? Or why will I miss out? Or what if this doesn't happen then? But a lot of stress in life is really about how you perceive time and whether or not you trust that what you are doing and your progress forward is something that's supposed to be happening exactly as it is when it is. So maybe next time you feel stressed or upset, trust. There's a reason for the timing of everything. I personally believe that, you know, a higher power is guiding me forward. And sometimes I feel like I step back, but I know that path is being cleared because before me proceeds God. And I know I can trust in timing of everything. If you've heard me talk about this before, I kind of got this opinion about the strengths based movement. You know, it's like we're all supposed to do our strengths and just follow our strengths and only do things that really amplify or focus on our strengths, I go, that's just not real. That's not real life. If you have a big mission or purpose or dream and it's beyond your comfort zone, which is really what they call your strengths now, right? Do your strengths. Do your strengths. I'm like, hold on. What should be important is the dream. And your dream or your purpose or your mission should never be made to bow down to your limited human strengths. I mean, I wouldn't be doing this if that was the case. This video right here, I was terrified of video. I didn't like video. I sucked at video. I wasn't a good communicator. But I didn't say, well, I guess I can't do video because that's not my natural strengths. I said, what's the mission? Serve people, help people, inspire people. Well, then I'd better develop that into a skill. Hey, it's Brendan. And listen to this one. Find what is good and strong and extraordinary about yourself and hold that knowledge close. When it gets difficult, no doubt there'll be a lot of uncertainties ahead. There'll be dark days, difficult days, hard days. There'll be those times when you don't know what to do or where you're going or why things are turning out the way that they did. But if you always hold close to that idea, that thought, that belief, that feeling that you're a good person, that you're gonna do your best, that you have good intentions, that you care about other people, that you want to live a good quality of life and you're willing to work for if you can always remind yourself of those values that you have, of the potential that you have deep inside of your heart. If you remind yourself you're willing to work for it and that you know without any question, no matter what happens, that you're a good person, that you're a strong person, then in those dark times, there'll be a little more light inside and you make it through. Hey, it's your coach, Brendan. And listen to this one. It's okay. You are sad. Things are off. The tilt toward hate and cynicism and judgment would unbalance the strongest warrior. But do not forget to focus on hope. As much as the hurt, that pain you feel comes from your heart, from empathy and reverence for life. Those are hopeful things. Breathe, my friend. Time has always shown that compassion and love outlast the deepest pangs of the night. Listen, we all do struggle. We all get sad when they judge us. We all get sad when day after day things don't move as fast as we want. We don't get where we want, people turn us down. We get criticism and judgment, discrimination. These things happen. But that sadness you feel from that, don't let that last too long, because there is hope on the other side. And the future is better than you think. Hey, it's Brendan. And listen to this one. Be sure to step out of the chaos now and then and ask, what do I really want for my life now? So many of the obligations, the duties, the hardships that we face every single day are a little bit in reaction mode. You know, we're charging faithfully along, hopefully provide for our families, hopefully do good things, hopefully make magic happen in the world. But obviously, lots of things come up and we get sidetracked and we get busy and we get distracted, and suddenly one day we've got all this busy work, but it's not our life's work. So we have to ask ourselves, okay, if I step out of all the noise, if I stepped away from doing things for everybody else and had a moment to breathe and to think and strategize, what do I really want for my life now revisit that often. Get excited about the answer and go make it happen. Okay? My friends, I hope you enjoyed this motivational session here on the Brendon show. And listen, please do yourself a favor.
