WHY SUCCESS Comes From MASTERING Your DARK SIDE | Robert Greene & Lewis Howes

“In your actions, don’t procrastinate. In your conversations, don’t confuse. In your thoughts, don’t wander. In your soul, don’t be passive or aggressive. In your life, don’t be all about business.” – Marcus Aurelius

"Power is only given to those who willing to lower themselves to pick it up." -Ragnar Lothbrok

His mind is beautiful, May God grant him health to live for decades.

" The best skill to have is to be able to get inside the minds of other people, if you develop that skill, nothing will ever stop you" This is going to be my motto for the next 12 months

Insights: 1. Confront your darkest fear & be comfortable with it. 2. Actually fear of failure is not that much bad, it keeps you alert, focused & become grounded. 3. Channel you horrible past, past failures & pain to something meaningful & significant & use that energy for which you are born to create. 4. Use your strong emotions as a greatest source of motivation. 5. The greatest regret is realizing not achieving your full potential. Wake up & do your work before it is too late. 6. You are obsessed by yourself so much that you are not paying close attention to what others people are saying. To become an empathetic listener, go on to other people’s head & find their stories interesting rather than your own. 7. You should never allow success go on to your head. Repetitive success makes you arrogant & overconfident. You may lose all of your achievements in a single blow next time. So, FAILURE is good. Robert Greene is one of the most powerful & influential philosopher & psychologist of modern times. Good to see he is recovering from his stroke. We are eagerly waiting for his next book, “The Law of Sublime”.

He is so decent.. you'd think he'd be hard to deal with after reading his books, but decency with awareness shows mastery of one's self.

I used to turn off this “forbidden” side of me because I thought it was so unrighteous but when I think about the times I had my greatest successes it was when I was feeling my darkest. At times I had to even create an enemy in my mind when I didn’t have one to pull this energy from. This is one of the best interviews I’ve ever watched.

I don't know if its only me, but I connected with almost everything Robert said. Inspired me to make changes in my life. Hope everyone who wants a change in their lives makes that change too. Peace to everyone out there.

Robert Greene is such a gift to humankind. His wife was there with him when he had his stroke, because his work is not done.

Your dark side is a PART of you. Don’t learn to avoid them or get rid of them, but learn to live ABOVE them. Let them teach and guide u from time to time 🙏

I've realised all my best teachers are men ..An awakened man is such a blessing to humanity .It doesn't seem to come naturally for men to seek truth and wisdom but when they do ..Wow !!! 🙏

“Defeat and failure are the greatest things that can happen to you.” Damn 🔥

I have a saying, I've used it for years ... "If this is the worst thing that happens today it will be a great day." It puts things into perspective.

46:24 Dark side starts

And as Yoda said to his dark side “You are a part of me but control over me you have not”

“You underestimate the power of the dark side” - Vader

He is the greatest writer of this Century. Mark my words people

Robert Greene's books completely changed my life. I went from being completely down and out to having some real success in the music and wine industry... the advice in his books are no joke. Also this is an awesome podcast. Thank you!

14:20 Is so powerful because on July 2020 was the day I wanted to chase success instead of doing nothing with my life, and it's all because I became self aware of my surroundings. I gave up on blaming people, God, and things that were out of my control. Victim mentality is what stopped me from enjoying life and seeking success.

I'm almost forty and I still have dreams I haven't achieved yet.
