- 0:29Happy Monday, Hard-Earned Life Nation. Tally here, and welcome to the Hard Reset. Today's reset is about the most important relationship you'll ever have. The one with yourself. You guys have heard me ranting and raving that the mirror is the most important tool for you to improve your life. Let's talk about honesty. Most people spend their whole life trying to earn other people's respect. They want approval,
- 0:58validation, recognition, but the ultimate confidence, the kind you can feel when somebody walks in a room that comes from one place, self-respect.
- 1:13And self-respect, that's not earned from the applause. It's earned from the promises you keep to yourself when nobody's looking. And don't forget the promises you keep to everyone else. It's the first agreement in the four agreements. Be impeccable with your word. I remember back when my priorities were all over the place. People thought I was confident. I looked the part, but on the inside, I felt like a fraud.
- 1:42because I knew I wasn't doing the things I said I would do. I was actually doing the opposite. Drinking, partying, creating chaos. That wasn't an alignment. But when I started stacking small wins, and small wins were simply eliminating
- 1:59negativity, eliminating the things that were working against me. Then I was able to show up at the gym when I didn't want to. I made a lot of hard calls in business, being present with my daughter because I was no longer hanging over and saying no to the things that didn't align. I started to feel different, started to act different. My magnetism was different.
- 2:22Not loud, not cocky, just solid. Self-respect changed everything. And here's something I want you to hear clearly. If you don't respect yourself, you will always settle for relationships, jobs, and environments that don't respect you either. Self-respect sets the standard
- 2:47Or how the world treats you. And if you've been listening to me. You teach people how to treat you. So that one should hit hard. So here's your hard reset. Stop chasing applause. Stop performing for likes. Praise or claps. Really anything external. It's all internal. Earn your own respect by doing the simple. Hard things. You said you would do. Never negotiate with yourself.
- 3:16Build trust with yourself one kept promise at a time.
- 3:22You will respect yourself first and watch how everything in your life shifts to match it and aligns to make you successful. Tomorrow, my new friend Benny Salas is going to challenge everything you think about confidence. He believes your voice is your superpower. And after this episode, you'll believe it too.
