Unlocking Your Inner Greatness

Recently I taught my clients who are in The Elite Mind Program a lesson about “greatness.” I taught that every person has greatness in them, and we all have a purpose for being here. Each of us must own our greatness and train ourselves to internalize the idea that we’re a great person. Why? Because this is the starting point for everything—including starting a business, growing a business, or reaching any big goal.

I told my clients, “Tell yourself, ‘I’m a great person.’ Ask yourself, ‘What would a great person do in their life?’”

After the lesson was over, I got 10-15 text messages from them, all asking me: “How do I know I’m great?” I realized they were asking this question because it didn’t feel true to them—they didn’t have an emotional feeling inside of themselves that they could connect this statement to.

In today’s episode you’ll learn:

• How most people’s emotional state regulates their reality

• How as children, almost everyone else has authority over us until we’re a certain age

• As adults, subconsciously we’re looking for a “transition of power” so that we know once we’ve accomplished something

• At some point, you must become the authority of yourself

• How historically many cultures had rites of passage indicating substantial transitions in life—but in the West, we’ve largely gotten rid of those things

• How most people look to their past wins, losses, rights, wrongs, ups, and downs to determine how they feel RIGHT NOW—and why that’s dangerous, (because what if you don’t have a great past?)

• How our desire gives us direction in life, and how we must BECOME the person who fulfills our purpose

The truth is, we can decide at any moment that we’re great. Like God said in the Bible, “I am because I am.” This statement has tremendous power—“I am great.” It’s your responsibility and your choice as to what you’ll do with it.

You’re great because you’re great. You don’t need to justify it. You don’t need anyone else’s approval or confirmation of it.
