Life Starts Working the Moment You Stop Controlling It | Lewis Howes

If you aren't achieving the success you want in life, if you don't feel like abundance is flowing, if you don't feel like you have peace, it's because you are trying to remain in control of everything. And that's one of your biggest problems. And the moment I stopped trying to control everything was the exact moment my life actually started to work. It actually started to flow and feel more abundant because that's what you deserve as well. More abundance, more financial opportunities, better relationships.

and real peace. And it all showed up when I learned the power of letting go rather than giving up. And there's a big distinction here. And I know that sounds backwards, but everything we're taught says you've got to work harder, you've got to push more, you've got to hustle harder, you've got to grind, you've got to do whatever it takes. But there's a better way for you to frame this.

in your minds. So today I'm going to break down the five things that you need to let go of so that you can finally step into the life you've been trying to create, but just haven't seen the results you're looking for. And I know this feels a little bit counterintuitive and I get asked all the time, Lewis, isn't hustle and control what gets you to the top? Well, that feels right, doesn't it? Well, our culture rewards this kind of grind mentality.
