Your mind can either be your best tool or a prison cell, and it’s all up to you.
While the world tries to make its impact on us, the brain is our personal vehicle for making an impact on the world. Life hits everyone hard, and it’s not brute strength that gets people through these challenges, but a level head. We discuss with motivational mastermind, Trey Downes, what mental skills are needed to break these chains and turn unrealized dreams into thoughtful action.
Trey Downes, our special guest today, is the host of his own podcast, Your Superior Self, designed to spread his insights on life improvement and conquering your mind.
In today’s podcast, we’re discussing the essential components of motivation, and the reasons why true success only comes to those who show dedication. The biggest takeaways from our discussion include:
- Bringing awareness to your self-constructed limitations.
- Why you need to surround yourself with positive influences, even if they’re miles away.
- The daily habits that translate into a positive mindset.
- The benefits of reading that go far beyond the text.
- How comparison becomes the thief of joy.
- Routines: the greatest limiter to creative potential.
“Whenever you start anything, you’re not going to be the best. You have to work your way up. You have to realize that the reward isn’t at the end…The reward is in the journey. The reward is finding out what you’re truly made of.” —Trey Downes
