Brendon Burchard argues that happiness can't come from other people or circumstances, only from yourself. He calls this "permission with conviction" and asks people to physically affirm it by raising their hands and saying it aloud, framing it as a breakthrough that lets you show up more loving and joyful in daily life.
It's okay for you to want more happiness if you don't give it. Really, like, step into it. You almost feel like, I don't know if I can ask. You can ask for it.
Everyone turn the person left, right, shake them, say, you can ask for it. You can ask for it. Permission with conviction.
When you step into that, it's like, oh, maybe I need to print Brendan to have fun in this process, to bring joy in this thing. And I'm going to permit that with conviction. I don't need them to say yes or no for me to have fun. I give myself that permission. I think it's really hard, isn't it? It's really hard. Who feels like here? You've had plenty of reasons to be proud of yourself. You've built something. But you do recognize that you deserve to feel happier. Now raise your hand. Could you look around the room? Look around, okay. He can't give you that happiness, and your kids can't give you that happiness. I can't do it. The dancing, as Sterling mentioned, does need some help. There is nothing you're going to turn to that is going to give you the more happiness. You give yourself that permission with conviction. Tonight, as you go to bed. Tomorrow as you wake up, I want you to give yourself permission with conviction. Would you write it down? Permission with conviction. Sometimes we need to process things. And I think as you process it, you're almost unsure if it's okay to ask this. You're unsure to ask it for yourself. And who else has been there, right? Who waited long enough? Anybody in the room ever before. Will you look at. I want you to see, look around the room. Look around the room. We all wait too long. And the thing is, you're not waiting for any. Anything. You're waiting for yourself. Your next breakthrough isn't the thing you do. It's who you permit to show up. Yeah. Permission with conviction. I am going to show up as a happy and loving person. Today, the tasks might change. Tomorrow, the boundaries might get stretched, but I'm going to choose to free myself and show up more happy. Not because someone says there's some external happy that you have to find. You know it. You tapping into your good energy and your joy, that's for you, not for the kids. That's for you. Because you do deserve it. Everyone say it with me. Permission with conviction. It's okay for you to want more happiness if you don't give it really, like, step into it. You almost feel like, I don't know if I can ask you can ask for it.
Everyone turn the person left, right, shake them, say, you can ask for it. You can ask for it. Permission with conviction.
When you step into that, it's like, oh, I can give myself permission to have fun today on all these stupid Zoom calls. I had to do that. Do you know, I went almost nine months through stupid Zoom calls, And in my mind, I'm like, oh, those stupid Zoom calls. And I said, no, no, no, no. Not everyone shows up to Zoom calls thinking they're stupid. What is it about? Are these necessary? They are. These are important. This is touching base with team or family or important outreach. Maybe I need to Brendan to have fun in this process, to bring joy in this thing, and. And I'm going to permit that with conviction. I don't need them to say yes or no for me to have fun. I give myself that permission. For you and everyone here, your next level, your ultra thing, is that next level of permission. Confidently stepping into it, allowing it, claiming it, proclaiming it in whatever language you want. Because you deserve it. You really do. You really deserve it. You've worked hard to get in a room like this. Everyone in here worked hard. Everyone in this room has worked hard. And everyone in this room, you give yourself more permission to be as happy as you damn well want at this stage of your life. Yeah, Sa.
