Workout: Build Courage

A lot of our discouragement in life comes from we compare ourselves to other persons. It's like, oh, well, I'm starting my art and my craft and my views and the work I'm trying to do. But look at how far else someone else is. Do not compare yourself to other people. Instead, ask, am I following my truth? Am I working diligently towards what is important to me? Am I on my own path? Am I staying consistent to what is important to me and what I believe in and what makes me feel alive? Do what makes you feel alive, not what makes you compare with other people. You got to walk your own path. When you're doing something and comparing it side by side to other people over and over and over and over, what you really do is you're blending your thing with theirs and you're living a conforming life, not a free life. And when you're living a conforming life, there's always discouragement there. When you're living a free life, there's an openness and optimism. Even if you're struggling, there's this openness and optimism because you're like, you know what? I'm doing my own thing, and that brings me alive. And that aliveness dampens down or knocks out that discouragement. Discouragement destroys creativity. But when you feel like you're learning, that sparks curiosity. Curiosity is the foundation of creativity, and creativity is the igniter of motivation sometimes. Don't try to make decisions based in your current funk. Believe in that future. You, Sam, Envision a compelling future. You coming today, advising you how to rise to your highest. That will change the game.
