Hi, it's Robin Sharma. It's pretty early in the morning. I'm waiting for my trainer and I just wanted to pull out my camera and record this video for you. You know, so much of your outer performance and your external productivity and the impact you have in the world, whether through it's your humanity or the way you run your business or the way you work your craft comes down to what's going on inside. In other words, if you're full of ego, if you're full of insecurity, if you're full of worry, if you're full of fear, you're never going to play at world class and do your best work and handcraft the life that you want. And there are three things in particular that have helped me well, and I want to share those three simple ideas with you in this quick video. Number one is letting go. I think one of the the greatest of all spiritual pursuits is learning how to let go. Learning how to let go of people who hurt you. Learning how to let go of events that have disappointed you. It is not until you really get good at letting go that you can advance into your bullish and brighter future. And how do you let go? Well, you can journal about it. You can make a conscious intention to just let go. Or maybe you let go by philosophical understanding, understanding that the people who might have hurt you were doing the best that they could do based on where they are at in their evolution and that people who are hurting hurt other people. Or maybe you can let go by prayer or auto suggestion or meditation or visualization. So the first philosophical point is let go. Which brings us to the second point, which is move on. It's about a simple understanding that every day is a gorgeous opportunity to recreate yourself into the person you want to be. Moving on is about embracing the present. It's about looking for opportunities where you are. It's about finding grace in simple pleasures of this day. Moving on is about constantly viewing what other people see as problems, as possibilities and chances to promote your growth. So moving on is about embracing the present moment. And then the third philosophical point is don't wait. I know this sounds simple, but it's so powerful. So many people say, yes, when this happens, I will do this. When I have more time, I'll write the book. When I make more money, I'll invest in my growth. When I get the promotion, I'll take the travel. No one knows what tomorrow brings no one knows what tomorrow brings no one knows what tomorrow brings. Keep on asking yourself if I don't do this now, how will I feel later? So don't wait. I'm not saying be foolish. You want to definitely not make ill considered choices and at the same time do not wait. So I hope these three ideas help you increase your creativity, productivity, performance and impact.
