Much of my personal leadership journey has been an exercise in building self-love.

...a lot of my healing work over the past 26 years has been a passion to accept and appreciate whatever it is that I am.

...my largest private dedication has been to excavate my weaknesses in hot pursuit of that which is my highest.

I’m sure you’re on the same path. I'm no better than you, of course. As a leader, producer or as a person. And for your magic, I truly honor you.

In my experience, the single best way to amplify self-love is to take better care of yourself.

Often, we are our greatest abusers. And when we increase the caring of our selves, we begin to sense the secret glory that rests at our base. And come to know all that we truly are.

You can grow in your self-care by:

...resting when you’re tired and enjoying life when it’s time.

...eating foods that nourish your spirit and upgrade your health.

...appreciating yourself for how far you’ve come and the person you now are versus always feeling like there’s more to do.

...not comparing your path and progress to anyone else’s. Because you’re precisely where you need to be.

...setting clear boundaries so no one ever disrespects you. Ever again.

...giving yourself permission to re-engage with your playful heart. And have a very good time.

Prayer is a powerful force-multiplier in the creation of your dreams.

Your words matter.  A lot of people are very careless with their language. The words you use can lift up your energy and make you more creative. The words you use either allow you to do world-class things or the words you use deny your talents.

Personally, speaking uplifting words fuels my inspiration dramatically [this ritual also causes your dopamine levels to surge nicely].

Following the crowd and behaving as the mass of humanity does will not get you into the rare-air that very few know...

...Legendary (or simply just happy) requires one to become a member of the anti-majority. Especially during these deeply uncertain times you and I find ourselves in.

You are a possibilitarian. A POIV [Person of Immense Vision]. A hopefulist and a radical enthusiast.

The more you own your power and develop the exceptional confidence that comes with making your fantasies real, the bigger your dreams will get. And when that happens, even more people will think you’re weird. And foolish. And wrong.

Those who condemn you are locked in their limited beliefs and terrified of their own bigness. That magic that was awake within them when they were kids has been stuffed deep into their darkest natures through life’s trials and corresponding traumas.

And so they know not what they do.

Their criticism is awesome soil within which to grow your faith in yourself. And your ironclad trust in your finest instincts. Bless them rather than cursing them. For they are helping your rise.

Elite productivity comes via cycling of intense periods of work balanced with profound periods of rest (this includes active rest; I explain all of this in my latest book The Everyday Hero Manifesto which you can now order here).

So in today's episode, I dig deep into the seasons of life. And what you can learn from each one when it comes to personal mastery, professional leadership and being an outright game-changer.

I totally get that you wish for deep peace, profound serenity and a quiet heart. And—via my work—I’ve done my VERY best to help you get there.

If  you were to ask me “Robin, if there was only one thing I could do to turn struggle into power, doubt into leadership and paralysis into results, what would it be?” I’d say this...

...work on you. Your inner core. Because life always reflects you.

The pandemic has forced us all to slow down. This gives us the great chance to get to know ourselves better. Our gifts and talents. Our fears and wounds. And as we use this period to build higher selves, we remake tragedy into triumph...

So that when this all ends, you will rise. And become even stronger. And of more use to the building of a brighter world.

Winning is imagining a mighty mission and then staying in the process of making it real versus getting sidetracked by diversions, golden opportunities and self-doubt.

The best leaders, revolutionaries and movement-makers came from a place of heightened and unusual inspiration.

Their genius was less about the ability to execute on the dream and more about their capacity to create the dream. [They then found followers who enrolled in their mighty mission and made the vision real].

I recently re-read Meditations by Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius [a book I often carry with me] and I wanted to share this powerful passage, for you to consider—as you optimize your game and escalate your life.

No one will believe in you, until you believe in you.

The more you own your power and develop the exceptional confidence that comes with making your fantasies real, the bigger your dreams will get. And when that happens, even more people will think you’re weird. And foolish. And wrong.

Those who condemn you are locked in their limited beliefs and terrified of their own bigness. That magic that was awake within them when they were kids has been stuffed deep into their darkest natures through life’s trials and corresponding traumas.

And so they know not what they do.

Their criticism is awesome soil within which to grow your faith in yourself. And your ironclad trust in your finest instincts. Bless them rather than cursing them. For they are helping your rise.

And over time—as your self-identity rewires—you’ll begin to inhabit the life you’ve invented.

The way most people work is from an ancient age. The idea that working longer and harder makes you more productive and better is outdated. It comes from the era when most workers toiled on a factory line. And by putting in more hours, they would create more products.

For creative professionals versus manual laborers, you get rewarded—not by the length of time you put in but by the degree of mastery that you put out. As a matter of fact, for those in industries that must deliver world-class artistry, working more often produces less.

Because we don’t get the time to contemplate and study and allow beautiful new ideas to incubate, it’s the rare breed of modern worker who gets this truth. And who makes the time to perform super intensely when they create and then recover super deeply when they are off.
