About this episode

Oh, the struggle...

...we struggle for our dreams and to insulate our hopes against the criticism of naysayers.

...we struggle to advance in the direction of the values we hold dear in a cold world where many have closed their hearts.

Yet there's nothing more heartbreaking than reaching the end of your life and realizing you've betrayed yourself.

It doesn’t matter what other people think of you. All that matters is what you think of you.

We lose so much energy worrying about the opinions of others, wanting to be liked. Leadership and personal mastery is about rising above social approval – to self-approval.

To help you stay positive, productive and peaceful in volatile conditions, Robin Sharma is giving away his #1 ebook for free. Click here to download yours for free.
