In this episode of the Brendon Show, Brendon Burchard urges listeners to celebrate and share their achievements with genuine enthusiasm, arguing that this practice boosts self‑respect and engagement. He highlights the importance of noticing and crediting small positive actions—like holding a door or offering a tip—as well as recognizing the value of refraining from negative behaviors. Burchard frames everyday challenges and the grind of personal development as opportunities for transformation, emphasizing that true fulfillment must be cultivated now rather than postponed until future success. He warns that many high‑achieving individuals attain external success without inner happiness because they neglect personal growth during the journey. The episode concludes with a call to spread positivity, share the podcast, engage with the Growth Day community, and use the #growthday hashtag, reinforcing the message that each day offers a chance for growth and self‑respect.
Chapters
I cannot believe how many people who are amazing, they don't think it's a big deal. I just survived cancer, you know, I just started my own business. And I want you to learn to share what you're doing in your life with real enthusiasm. That's how you're really sharing the wins. That's how you're feeling the wins. That's how you're celebrating the wins. Share it with enthusiasm. Sometimes in sharing what we're doing with enthusiasm, we feel better about life. We feel more engaged with you. Look, if I can't celebrate my wins with you, if I have to, like, minimize myself around you all the time, that's not a real relationship. That's lying, right? If you're not telling other people what you're proud of in your life, what you've accomplished and what you've achieved, not so that you can brag, but to share your real life. So you got to learn to give yourself credit and still believe. And then it's easier to care for yourself. And the last thing, it's such a simple habit. You need to start noticing when you do good things again. You know, you held the door open for the person. That's okay. Allow yourself notice. Like, you know what, five people walked by. No one held up the door. I held the door. You know what, no one usually tips. Here I tip. You know what, no one usually listens. Here I listen. You know, no one usually says thank you. I say thank you. It's noticing the little things that you do, you know, and notice also the things that you don't do and give yourself a little bit of self respect for it, right? When I'm in a car with somebody and I see somebody get like, they're driving and they get cut off and they don't flip the bird to the other person, they don't swear, they don't beat the dash, they don't cuss, they don't lose their cool. And I'm like, I respect that. You know, there's a lot of things you do that are amazing, but there's also a lot of things that you've chosen as a good person not to do that you should give yourself some credit for too.
So what I'm here to tell you is along this process, along this struggle, every single day, as it sucks, as it's a grind, as it feels like a hustle, as it feels like you're like compromising everything, and it's just like, oh, my gosh, honor this process as a challenge to you to become a Better human to develop, better attitude to develop those skills that are required. Like literally experience it not as a journey to achieve a dream. Experience it as an opportunity to transform. Experience it as an opportunity to grow. Experience it as an opportunity to test your mettle and ask, what am I really made of? How can I deal with this and live a great life right now, not in 10 years when I hope to make it. How do I live a great life right now? Because if you can't teach yourself to live a great life right now, when you get financial abundance or you get the dream or everything happens, guess what? You're still stuck with you. And if you can't teach yourself to be satisfied, joy filled, emotionally connected, happy, fulfilled, now I'm here to tell you, after coaching literally the most impressive people on the planet, people who are on covers of magazines, spiritual leaders, presidents of the United States, having the experience of working at the top echelons of every organization at the top levels, I can tell you that there's a lot of people who do get the dream. And because they weren't patient and they didn't develop themselves along the way, they hurried into it. They complained and crashed and grinded into it. They get there. They compromised their integrity. They compromised their health. They never taught themselves to be happy. So they got everything and they're still unhappy. And you're like, you have everything. How are you unhappy? It's because they never taught themselves along the journey, honor it and to use it as a training ground for being them best selves every day.
