Opportunity, Community, Unity

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 my friends, it's Brendan. And welcome to your weekly roundup of my 60 second motivational quotes that I post out on Instagram and other social media. We thought we'd compile them here for you to give you some motivational fire for your week. So let's go. Listen, don't fear embarrassment. Fear living a constrained and false life. If you're rejected for being true to yourself, then you are simply being divinely guided to move on to another level of community. When you have people around you who are negative, who are judgmental, who can't offer constructive feedback, who are always putting you down, and yet you are being yourself, that is a sign that you are being guided to another level of community. It means it's time to stop spending so much time with those people and find and a better quality of community. See, we can't sit around and complain all day. No one supports me. No one's around me. No one likes me. It's our job to architect the level of peer group that we need to succeed in life. It's our job to take the hint that these folks aren't right for us. So let me go build the community I need right now. It's Monday. You have opportunity this week. Show up. Don't waste it. Give it your all. Because guess what? Next Monday is going to roll around too. And you're going to look back and you're going to say, okay, those last seven days, did I show up? Did I take advantage of the opportunities that were available to me? Did I give my all? Did I practice my good habits? Did I have a good mindset and attitude? Did I help other people? Did I serve? And you're going to ask that week over week, month over month. And you're going to have to take account of how you're showing up in this world at some point. So I say it's Monday. Anticipate that you're going to have a great week. Anticipate that it is your time. Take the opportunity to do good this week. So few people have the opportunities we have and so blessed with those opportunities. Let us be responsible for them. Let us go claim them. Let us go give our all. There will be a time when the world needs you to be courageous, when your friends and family count on you, when your dreams are on the line, when giving up won't make sense anymore. When the power of love begs to break through. That time is now. We always think, oh, someday I'll be needed. You are needed now. Someday I'll make my difference. Make it today. Someday I'll start that new habit, that new dream. No, that is today. Someday I'll get healthy. Someday I'll feel good about life. Someday I'll be happier, kinder, more awesome. That day must be today. Tomorrow is not guaranteed. The future will either be the same as today or it will be different. Because today, you change it. This is the day, and this is the time. And this waiting for someday is no longer going to be something that works for you. Today is the day. Hey, it's Brendan. And listen to this one. You are stronger than you think. Be bold. You can handle this. You know, I say this to clients often because so many people, right when it's time to take action, they pause. They take a step back. Right when it's time to speak up, to chase that dream, to work the day, they stay silent. They doubt the dream. They sit on the couch. But not you. Not this year, not 2019. You've been through enough. You know, all these last years, it's so easy to say, oh, all those stresses, all those turmoil, all those challenges, all those losses, all those demands, all those obligations, all those missed opportunities. Oh, woe is me. I guess I'll just stay here, reflect and doubt. What? Or you can say, all of those things were the training grounds that gave you the skills and the competencies, the readiness and the empathy to go get it. This is your year, my friend. If you don't try to experience love and joy in your heart each day, then perhaps you've forgotten what it's all about. You know, so many people get up and they write their morning goals. They think about their to do lists, they chart out the path to achieving more and succeeding more and earning more and more. All that's wonderful, except to so many people. Just forget that, really, what's it all about if not the sensations, those feelings of love and joy each day? And those aren't things that you get after the achievement or get after the day is completed. Those are things that you can choose to summon to truly will into existence to decide, you know what? I want to feel loved. I want to have loving energy for others today. I want to have joy. Take appreciation of the small things, the cute things, the beautiful things. I want to feel good today. I want to feel good now. What if that was a consistent and constant goal and your companion in life never Believe you are above or below anyone. Keep a humble spirit, my friend. You know, it's so tragic to me that so many people as they are down deeps in the depths of pain, start judging of other people or as they climb and climb and climb and become more and more successful, they judge other people. And it's like their entire journey from, you know, heartache to breakthrough to success is often defined by judging other people, by at one point feeling lower than other people, other points feeling higher than other people. But what if you could just see yourself arm in arm with humanity? What if you could just realize that you're no better, no worse, that you're just another human following the same narrative, the same story of humanity's entire story? There's only two stories in the human narrative. Struggle and progress. We all go through struggle and we all progress. So be honoring of other people.
