Workout: Overcome Doubt & Division
23 Oct 2022 · 8 min
Brendon Burchard says doubt and division are what stop you from growing. Doubt signals you need to learn something; transform it into belief in your worth and ability. Division through judgment breaks connection. Replace it with unity, and you'll belong, grow faster, and succeed together.

What you need more of in life is more days of growth. And more days of growth doesn't happen at the end. It happens now. When you get that, everything changes. So if we all want this, why don't most people have it? Why don't most people have these things? Well, doubt. Doubt, you stop believing in yourself and you stop believing you are worth it. That's that fearful dragon. That is that mean, menacing voice in your head. Sometimes it's even subtle. Most people struggle in their life because when they hear doubt, they stop. Successful people, when they hear doubt, they realize it's just a signal to learn. Soon as doubt becomes a signal in your head, oh, I'm doubting myself. What do I need to learn right now? Well, I need to get more competence. No, I need to learn. I'm not being present. I need to learn. I'm not being aware. I need to learn. Doubt is just saying, hey, brain, pay attention. It's not scary. Second thing that gets in our way, Division. This kills progress. Why are we in the state of the world we have? It's because everyone's so divided. We so judgmental. I noticed this happening so much in the pandemic that I started this little hashtag around the Internet telling people, judge less, feel better. If you feel terrible, you're probably judging people too much. It's just real. If you feel terrible, you're locked in some kind of judgment against other people. You're dividing. See, humans, we want to be part of something, that belonging, that connection. But as soon as we judge, we break the connection. We create a false facade of labels between us and other people. We're division. You know what gets in your way. If you know what you want, if you know you want aliveness and connection, you know you want meaning and growth. What gets in the way of most people, it's what's killing everybody right now. Delay, delay. You're waiting, you're waiting, you're waiting. Some of you been waiting years. It's not going to get better till you change. So let me give you a simple framework of how to deal with these things. Number one, realize you got to turn doubt into belief. Belief. What does that mean? Doubt into belief. What does belief mean? Here's what you need to know. Belief is two things. Only two things that are going to get you going each day. And overcome the doubt. Doubt means, number one, worthiness. If belief. Belief has to start with your sense of worth, your esteem for yourself. I am worthy of this success just like she is. If you see people up here as different than you? You've already failed. You think I'm different than you? Why? Because my outfit. You think I'm different than you? Why? Because my haircut, which I'm still doing since the pandemic by myself. What is it that makes me so different than you? See, as soon as we don't believe we're worthy of the same amount of success or experience as other people, I didn't know I'd be on stage one day. The first time I did my own seminar, it was in a room with 15 people. 15 people. Half were there free. When I count the 15 people, I call my mom, my sister, and the guy who kept coming in to refill the water, he countless Three right there, three right there, three right there. The guy who came in helping the av, that's four. We've got four people. I believe I could try. Because you know, the other part about belief is capability. Do you believe you are capable, not capable now capable of figuring it out?

Just go to progressmode.com confidence is the belief in your ability to figure things out. Let me say it again. Confidence is your belief. It's what? Belief in your ability to figure things out. That's what confidence is academically. Belief in our ability to figure things out. You can figure this out. You can sell, you can connect, you can build for your family. If you don't believe you're worthy and that you can figure it out, go home and watch more Netflix. Someone else will take your earnings and give it to their family. Someone else has a belief. Someone else has the belief again. I told you I won't be all as popular. My job is high performance coaches to push people and I'm like, someone else will give that money to their family. Someone else believes that they are worthy and that they will figure it out and you should believe it too. Second Big breakthrough here is division becomes unity. Division becomes unity. You have to stop seeing her as different than you. You have to stop seeing her as different than you. Unity. You know what we all want. I know some of you are religious or believe in God. Some. Some of you might not. But in spirituality, the ultimate enlightenment that every spiritual leader in the history of the world figured out. Enlightenment. All of enlightenment was unity. The concept of oneness. We are the same. We are in the flow of the universe or under God, similar. However you decide it. Unity was always the breakthrough for the highest levels of enlightenment. I'm not separate than you. The separateness is tearing our country apart. The separateness is ripping you from your neighbor. The separateness is why you don't earn more money. Unity. You got to bring the people together again. This is your job as a leader. Bring them back together. Make that a fierce focus, that desire for connection. Tap into that and create something that's united. We succeed together. This thing builds up together or it don't build up. Unity. Unity. You got to unite with each other, at home, with your neighbor. You want growth. It comes from unity, not division.
