"I was creating from a wound. The more I accomplished, the more I succeeded, and I just said, I need to make more to fill this hole of unworthiness." - Lewis Howes
I built a multi-million dollar empire while secretly drowning in rage and self-hatred. For years, I masked my pain behind athletic achievements and business wins, believing that another milestone, another million, another accolade would finally make me feel worthy. But twelve years ago, sitting in an emotional intelligence workshop, something cracked open. I realized I'd been living as two different people - the confident entrepreneur the world saw, and the angry, "dumb" little boy I believed myself to be inside. That day, I created what I call a spiritual identity contract: three simple words that would rewire decades of trauma and transform not just my success, but my entire relationship with myself.
The contract I'm sharing isn't some motivational poster mantra - it's a daily practice of becoming who you truly are beneath the wounds. From feeling too stupid to read in high school to writing three New York Times bestsellers. From competing to destroy others to building a platform that lifts millions. From pushing away love to attracting my soulmate. I reveal exactly how I turned anger into love, competition into passion, and the belief that I was "dumb" into deep wisdom. This isn't about positive thinking - it's about rewriting the very contract you have with yourself at the soul level.
