Grow Your Self-Love to Build a Better World in 2026
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
By healing your hurts and building your strongest self you reap enormous business rewards. Seems strange right?
Yet you can be part saint and part CEO and business titan. By learning how to appreciate, respect and honor yourself MUCH more.
By growing in self-love you’ll:
…refuse to accept mediocrity in your work because you know you deserve to push magic into the market.
…avoid dealing with people who don’t see your greatness and who minimize your magnificence.
…be disinterested in accepting a deal that doesn’t respect what you’re bringing to the table
…stand up for yourself when you’re not being treated the way you deserve to be treated.
…ensure your clients compensate you in kind for the rich value you bring them.
That’s it for today. Take good care of yourself. Please. Your brilliance—and the rebuilding of a better world—depends upon it.
My team has just opened access to my completely new and very helpful online program The Amazing Day Blueprint. It’s designed with one strong focus: to help you consistently build great days in 2026, that turn into the single greatest year of your life. Here are all of the details.
So few people are really comfortable not fitting in. How can you change the world if you have this deep need to fit in? And so doing the work required to access your human greatness, reconnect with who you truly are, will give you much more self-confidence. So you believe in yourself when no one believes in yourself until you get so good at what you do that everyone believes in you. You know, I think the greatest crime a human being can commit is the crime of self-betrayal. And the less the true part of you you express, the less you're going to love yourself.The greater the gap between who you truly are and the person you are every day in the world, the less your life is going to work. Because you're committing the fundamental crime a human being commit, which is the crime of self-betrayal. You're dishonoring your values. You're ignoring your gifts. You're not being who you are. You know what makes a great musician? He or she honors their unique voice. Every musician starting out copies their heroes. But the great musicians get to a place where they know the rules so they can break the rules. I think of Miles Davis. Miles Davis copied Duke Ellington and Dizzy Gillespie until he got so good at what he did, he trusted his own voice and he created a whole new syncopation, whole new rhythm. that disrupted the field, but it made the world call him a genius. Well, I think that's what happens to most people. They follow their heroes, but they don't trust their own voice. And so what starts to happen is there's this great gap of integrity. When you are in integrity, you are being true to who you are, even if you're an army of one, even if the world thinks you're crazy. So you want to close the gap between your social self and your true self. who you are every day and the way you live is true to you. What that does is it grows self-love. That's why the second benefit of doing this work to reclaim your human greatness is you'll just love yourself more. And is self-love important? Absolutely. Because if you really loved yourself, then you'd only put out your magic in terms of your work. If you really loved yourself, you'd only be around people who honored you and celebrated you for who you truly are. If you really loved yourself, you wouldn't put poisons into your body. If you really loved yourself, then you would treat people in such a way that never caused you to dislike yourself. Like when you treat someone poorly, you're not only treating that other person poorly, you're reducing your own self-esteem because your conscience sees everything that you're doing. Do you know how toxic it is for yourself to mistreat another person? It makes you feel shameful. It makes you feel disrespected. It makes you feel bad. So when you love yourself, you do better work, you eat better. When you love yourself, you install the habits of mastery. When you love yourself, you treat people with civility and politeness. When you love yourself, you don't give upon your mighty mission. When you love yourself, you celebrate your ambitions. When you love yourself, you walk your talk and you speak with your voice and you... Trust your innovation and you honor your creativity. Self-love is a huge generating force of world class.
