We all experience seasons in the wilderness where we feel alone, confused, and challenged. If you're in one of these seasons, you'll find this episode extremely valuable.

One Potent Method to Release Emotional Pain

Forgive the unforgiven. The energy you are giving them is costing you your creative fortune.

Too many potentially fantastic performers + rare-air leaders among us have left their best creativity, productivity and impact on the table of broken dreams because they stayed stuck in the past.

You can stay angry at someone who hurt you. Or you can get busy doing your visions and changing our world. But you don't get to do both.

Forgiveness is a Productivity Accelerator

In his ongoing spirit of doing his best to serve you and your finest life, Robin Sharma has deconstructed some of what he's observed coaching some of the world's most successful people in today's episode.

One of the Defining Traits of Ultra-Successful People

It doesn't matter where you start, only that you begin. And once you do, life begins to put the wind behind your sails. The Muse comes out to play. Your best self starts revealing more of its higher nature.

You’ve been blessed with hidden jewels that lie deep within. These are the talents that slumber, the gifts that lay dormant and the calls on your life that we all ask you to live.

Without you showing up, shining fully, standing up after you’ve fallen, persisting when you feel like surrendering, we’ll all be less of a human family. Things will be colder. And the world will be less bright.

So please. Just start. We’ll applaud your rise. And I’ll watch your star blaze the path that so many will follow.

Nothing Happens Until You Move

Extreme success requires deliberate recovery. Refueling and resting isn’t a waste of time. It’s part of winning. Balance is a necessity of legendary.

Why Deep Rest is Essential to Elite Performance

Some people laugh at the notion of being nice and decent and noble. “That’s a sign of weakness,” I hear. Nope. It’s a sign of strength. Anyone can put themselves first. Piece of cake. What takes guts is to stand for something higher and to be of service to others. Like Mandela. Like Gandhi. Like King. Heroes of mine.

So stand for something higher. Have impeccable manners. Be the kindest person you know. Be there for people. Show them you care. And, above all else, be good. No one ever regretted being the best person they knew as they rested on their deathbed.

Lead with Kindness

Working on a better Mindset while neglecting your Heartset  [as introduced in The 5AM Club] sets up a situation of self-sabotage where your intellect knows what you should do yet your emotional world keeps you limited.

Listen to today's episode to learn why Robin Sharma has been evangelizing the message for 25 years that emotional healing is absolutely essential to expert performance and reclaiming your inner genius.

A long, cold and snowy winter is finally coming to an end. Just after dawn during a nocturnal unattended sound recording in an old forest. Black grouse is on the leks, and the voices of overflying Whooper swans can be heard. Chaffinches are migrating, and the local Willow tits have begun singing. Black and Great Spotted woodpeckers are drumming, but Ravens steal she show acoustically. Feels good to be alive.

The party’s Fifth Plenum sets out a five-year vision; we mine the plan for clues about how China views itself in the world—and how long Xi Jinping intends to lead. The pandemic has the rich world thinking and talking about death in a way not seen since the second world war. And an uncertain future for Singapore’s famed street-food hawkers.
