4 Truths To Grow Self-Love | Robin Sharma

Foreign.

Hi, it's Robin Sharma, the author of the 5am Club. And I really hope you're great. I hope you are in hot pursuit of your mighty mission. I hope you're materializing your primal genius. I hope you are radiating positivity to every person you meet. I hope you are manifesting your greatest productivity. I hope you're living not only a success. Look at your device and you're going to see all these people showing you.

Highlight reel of the lives they want you to think they're living. Most of it's just an illusion. I was reading recently, there is actually a service where you can rent a jet on a Runway and for 20 minutes you can go to the Runway and get a photographer to take pictures of you on a private jet. And outside of the private jet, you know, like this, right? And you get to post it on social media and you can hire photographers to take you to all these luxury brand stores where you're outside of a luxury brand store and you're like outside of luxury brand store. Maybe even if you can't afford the watch or the purse or the shoes or whatever it is. What is the point? I'm suggesting to you, everything begins within. If you don't love yourself, then you're going to go out into the world and in this culture of showbiz, this culture of bling, this culture of comparison, this culture of social media gratification, you're going to get activated, you're going to get pinged. Those ancient wounds are going to get touched on every single day and you're just going to be miserable. And so four truths to help you grow self love so that you build that inner warrior in this place of peace and this huge well of tranquility that cannot be disrupted when you go out into the world is really mission critical, right? You want to be so strong in your skin, so strong in your luminosity, so strong in your relationship with who you truly are, that nothing in the outer world can activate you and diminish your energy and make you feel not enough. You know what Eleanor Roosevelt said, my friend, no one can insult you without your permission. You know what Oscar Wilde said? He said, be yourself, everyone else is taken. You know what Warren Buffett once said? There can never be a better you than you. You know what Jack Welch said when he was at ge? Do not lose yourself on the way to the top. So let me walk you through four specific truths that will help you grow self love number one, honor your specialness. Honor your specialness. Look, we've got billions of people on this tiny planet and yet there is no other person alive today quite like you. No one quite like the gifts that you have. No one quite like the way that you talk. No one has the same fingerprints. No one walks exactly in the same way as you. No one has the same hopes and dreams as you. No one has had the same sufferings that you have. No one has become precisely the same person that you are. No one has the same potential you have. No one has exactly the same primal genius that lurks at your core that makes you special. Now, I'm not suggesting that you fall into what I call Ram syndrome. W R A M World revolves around me. Look, I'm so special, I'm entitled. I am so special. World give me a great living. I see that all over the world. We live in this society of great entitlement. People don't want to show up early. People are not committed to mastery in all cases. A lot of people are like, give to me. And they become takers from their organizations and their marketplaces and their society versus understanding. You get from the world what you give to the world. But the point on this first truth is honor your specialness. Appreciate who you are. There is no one quite like you. The second truth, to grow self love is to do hard things daily. And I want you to think about this one really intimately, right here, right now. When you get up every day, are you on the path of least resistance? You know, someone said to me on one of my social feeds the other day, Robin, I've read the 5am club. Loved the information. Full of energy to get it done. But I need to tell you, it sounds very easy. It's much harder to do in real life. Well, what is this love we all have in this world we live in of things needing to be easy? Society has sold us a bill of goods. Everything should be easy. We should transform our health with one quick pill. A great relationship should happen in a month. And if we don't have a magical relationship, if we're not all in love and wonder, then we should leave the relationship. If we're at a job, anything that's worth doing is challenging at first. And if we're at a job, oh, after three months, if it's not the job of my lifetime, we leave it in a relationship. You know, if it's not perfect, we leave it. If we want to upgrade our health, oh, I've been at it two weeks. Oh, you know what? It's really hard. I need to stop my journey to world class fitness. What's my point? My point is simply this. Anything great you will ever do in your life is hard and so are you living every day. Let me ask you right now, in this moment I am blessed to share with you. When you get up in the morning, when you go through your day, when you construct your evening routine, is it all around the path of least resistance? Is it all about pleasure? Is it all about fun? Is it all about are you a master of easy or are you doing what the very few do on the planet today? As you know, one of my core brain tattoos is to have the results 95% of the population do not have. You've got to commit to doing what only 5% of the population are willing to do and what the Titans do, what the virtuosos do. Rewards you'll start to see in your own life. So I hope this episode has been valuable for you. Inspirational, tactical and I'll see you in the next episode. Hey, this is Robin Sharma.
