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 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, frigging 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.

Do not fear the unseen unknown. Yesterday was at one point uncertain, but you survived. You can handle this now, too. You were stronger than you think, my friend. And the future does hold good things for you. All of this fear you have right now, all of this stress, all this upset, all of this angst that you are carrying in your heart and in your soul for tomorrow is a cheat. It's something you're actually doing to stay comfortable today. We don't realize that, but by fearing the future, it allows us to be comfortable today. Oh, I guess I'll just stay the way that I am. What people often don't realize is fear of the future is often justification for weakness. But once you realize that, oh, no, no, tomorrow, ah, tomorrow's a blank page. I can craft that. I can shape that. I can write that. Tomorrow, then is a point of freedom, something to be designed and shaped into what we want it to be. That is real motiv. After you've achieved success, you still have to wake up and deal with you. Number two, master your thoughts now before.
The climb gets steeper.
Number three, Seeking validation or worth from others saddens your soul. Number four, how you feel won't change much with more things. So honor and love yourself. Now or never. This is so important because I really believe so many people strive and. And as they strive, they're so dissatisfied, so frustrated, so mad at themselves, so just in a bad place, emotionally and mentally and physically. And what they're trying to do with that, what they don't realize is they're actually training themselves to be that person. Dissatisfied, unhappy, unhealthy. They're training themselves because as you strive, so you become and so choose to strive and bring the joy and master your mind now. Emotionally create the reality you want now. 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 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 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. Stop being so fixated on your flaws. Every day you beat yourself up, you get mad about your weaknesses, you make fun of yourself. You don't like your body, you don't like how you think, you don't like your life and the things that are challenging you. Maybe some of those flaws, maybe those things that you just feel like, gosh, this is not right in me. Or are cue points to either let it go and accept yourself or cue points to say, let me get better. Number two, you can improve without tearing yourself down with judgment. You don't have to judge yourself negatively to improve. We think that we have to be so militaristic in that way. Like tear yourself down to build yourself up. Not true. Number three, you are worthy. Period. Nothing else to say. Number four, you're ready and capable. So take action to gain confidence. Confidence is not something you have. It's something you generate by being congruent with who you are and consistent in your action. So let's go get it. Look, if you're always tired, you can't serve at your highest level of potential. Get some rest, eat better, take care of yourself, my friend. We need you. You don't understand how many people need you on your A game. But you keep making compromises in the short term, thinking that in the long term you'll have more time for sleep and sanity and joy and peace and just a normal, healthy way of experiencing the world. But if you're always depleted, if you're always, you know, having to caffeinate yourself to survive and get through the day, and then guess what? You're really just addicted to this feeling that feels like normal, but it's not like you're operating at a high level. But you're depleted. And you don't realize how that's affecting your relationships, negatively your output, negatively your ability to produce and create meaningful, great creativity and leadership. So get some rest. Be an example of the kind of conduct you wish to see in the world. Don't expect love, excellence or generosity if you do not radiate such things. Everybody has such high expectations of other people. While other people should be so caring, other people should be attentive, other people should be so appreciative, other people should be more detail oriented. And yet often they lack the own congruence themselves. We shouldn't wish the world to be a positive, beautiful, amazing, incredible, healthy, loving, generous place. If we don't also demand that of ourselves and show up that way personally, consistently. It's like if you're not being your absolute best self and really working towards that and showing that and demonstrating that, then you don't get to complain about other people's behavior. That should just be logical. Let's be people of integrity and congruent and be our best.
