The Primary Relationship of Personal Heroism

And I will share with you, with great love and respect, everything you do in your outer life, whether it’s your relationship with money, your relationship with your productivity, your relationship with your craft, your relationship with your team, your relationship with your customers, your relationship with the world. All of those external relationships depend on one thing: the relationship you have with you.

Honor that relationship first, I call it the primary relationship of personal heroism. That’s the relationship you have with yourself. Tend to that because every other relationship depends on that. And so when you say speak your truth, when you’re scared, when you speak your opinion, when your voice shakes and it’s difficult, that’s a high act of honoring yourself. You’ll build self-worth you’ll build self-respect, you’ll get more individual power, you’ll feel stronger and every other relationship in your external world will rise as a result of that.
