A lot of people ask me on my social platforms, or at my live events, Robin, how can I get more joy? How can I get my spark back? How can I live in the magic of life? One of the ways is through the passageway into learning, learning fires your joy.
This morning, I got up early as I do on most days and I got on the exercise bike, but I also listened to an audiobook and there was just something alchemic that happens when you’re moving your body, but also fueling the student, the hungry learner within you. Second thing I want to leave you with, pain is potential unexpressed. So if you want to lift your joy, learn and grow, but also remember if you’re spending all your time watching videos and breaking news and chitchatting and playing with your devices and playing games versus getting in the pocket of world-class and honoring your potential. So you live a world-class life and do work that endures the generations. If you just waste your time and waste your talent, if you betray the genius that longs to see the light of day. Well, what starts to happen is this psychic pain starts to well up inside you. And more than anything else, you start to disrespect yourself at a conscious and subconscious level. This is very profound. I want you to think about this later. If you betray your potential, you start to disrespect yourself and you start to fall into self-betrayal.
And that builds this huge subconscious reservoir of low self worth. And that’s why you just sort of give up and you have apathy. There’s no sparkle in your eye. You don’t walk towards your fears anymore. You don’t really care that much about your work and your love and your health and your life. And you resign yourself to the cult of mediocrity rather than playing in the place where you andI both know you belong to be, in the rare air of mastery. So I hope this episode has inspired you and challenged you to stand up and step up your game as a learner. So you live a world-class life and here’s your homework. As soon as you finish watching me, I want you to share this episode, this fiery, content-rich episode, with three of your friends. Why? Because, then you’re going to help them. We’re going tos pread this inspirational and tactical message. And then I want you to share a conversation with those three friends, so all four of you start talking about what I learned, because the teacher learns the most. And it’s a great way to start refining and deepening your understanding of what I’ve shared in this episode.
