The Daily Mastery Podcast by Robin Sharma

I recently re-read Meditations by Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius [a book I often carry with me] and I recorded this episode about a paragraph that truly spoke to me, for you to consider—as you optimize your game and escalate your life.

I'm truly super excited over the upcoming release of my new book The Robot and the Gardener: Being Fully Human in an Artificial Age (Penguin Random House). It's a parable and it's different (by far!) from any book I've ever written.

People call you lucky when they didn’t see your private winters.

They missed the early mornings, the risks, the mistakes, the learning and the years of work when no one was watching.

The world may call it luck. You will know it was devotion.

Our culture has pushed and trained and brainwashed so many of us to chase money and watches and things so we become “rich.” 

 It’s sad. Because people get hurt (by getting nice things and losing their soul along the way). 

And this brainwashing is designed to make us think that if we exhaust our energy and spend our lifeforce on this pursuit, we’ll get to a place where we wake up happy. 

 It’ll never happen. Never. Ever.

 I’ve seen it time and time again with the billionaire clients that I’ve mentored for decades. They feel happy for a week and then the scientific phenomenon of hedonic adaptation takes effect, they normalize the new rewards and, of course, they want more.

A great life may have financial independence in it and if that’s important to you then win in this area, please. But without wellness, love, craft and the other forms of wealth (along with my specific tools that optimize each one) a person ends up as the richest person in the graveyard.

Human beings are born into clarity yet programmed into fear.

…we are taught to ignore our instincts and overindex on logic (which is simply what the majority tells us is possible).

And yet your instinct is wiser than your intellect. The great symphonies, artworks and social movements were not made through cold, hard logic but via good-hearted intuition. 

The best moves I’ve made in my life have been made when I listened to the calls of intuition over the voices of reason — trusting the guidance my wisest self was giving.

The more you build and live your life from a place of helpfulness, generosity and acute faith in the rewards that flow from doing good for as many people as possible, the more income you’ll receive, the more influence you’ll experience, the more serenity you’ll know and the more your life will take on its own unique form of magic.

High-agency individuals have made peace with discomfort.

They know the path to anything extraordinary drives directly through difficulty. When circumstances are hardest, they lean in. When the pressure is greatest, they do their finest work. 

A masterwork is not made under easy conditions. Neither is a remarkable human life.

Victims wish there was no change and complain it’s all so hard and blame conditions, giving away their power to make the future as they want in the process.

Do not do this. Do not be like this. Don’t be around people, news, conversations, and mentalities like this.

Step up. Now. Into. Your. LEADERSHIP.
