Check out the full episode: greatness.lnk.to/1816 "You don't need more motivation, you need more meaning. Motivation is for those who want success. Discipline is for those who want meaning." - Lewis Howes Lewis gets brutally honest about the years he spent chasing all the wrong things - money, relationships, success - all driven by fear rather than purpose. He had everything he thought he wanted, yet felt completely empty inside. The breakthrough came when he realized he was addicted to motivation instead of rooted in meaning. There's something deeply personal about the way he shares this journey, admitting how hollow those achievements felt when they weren't connected to something bigger than his ego. This isn't just another pep talk about finding your purpose. Lewis breaks down exactly how meaning transforms everything - from the boundaries you set to the energy you protect, from the work you create to the relationships you nurture. He walks you through the exact question that changed his life: "Who suffers if I stay small?" It's the kind of question that stops you in your tracks and forces you to see your potential through the lens of service rather than self-interest. When you shift from asking what you want from the world to what the world needs from you, everything changes. Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter
