749 Lindsey Stirling: The Power of Your ...

Lewis Howes
About this episode

WHERE YOUR FOCUS GOES, YOUR ENERGY WILL FLOW.
How do you define yourself?
Do you use words like “ugly,” “fat,” or “shy?”
Social media and advertising like to tell us that we’re not enough. But you don’t have to live by anyone else’s definition-you have the power to create your own.
Write your own view of yourself. Right now. Do it.
What you believe you will be is what you will become.
On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I’m sharing a powerful presentation from The Summit of Greatness from a musician who redefined a genre and herself: Lindsey Stirling.
Lindsey Stirling is a violinist, dancer, performance artist, composer, and singer who presents amazing choreographed violin performances. Stirling was second place on last year’s Dancing With The Stars, has been named Forbes magazine's 30 Under 30 In Music, and was a quarter-finalist position on America's Got Talent season five.
Billions of people have now watched her videos on YouTube.
Lindsey struggled with depression and anorexia. It wasn’t until she decided to change her thought patterns about herself and about her future that became the powerful musician we know today.
So get ready to learn how to create your own definition for your life on Episode 749.
Some questions asked:
How do you have the courage to speak about your faith? (7:30)
What did your dad do to encourage you throughout your life? (10:29)
How do you handle the pressure? (12:32)
In this episode you will learn:
How she tells her truth and story (7:48)
How her dad is her biggest fan (10:42)
The tools she used during recovery (12:57)
