For over a decade I've asked the most successful minds on the planet one single question.

"What is your definition of greatness?"

Here are some of my favorite definitions from my guests on The School of Greatness. Let me know which one resonated with you the most. 🧵👇

[Lewis Howes @LewisHowes]

@MrDialloo Six months of showing up every single day is no small thing. Celebrate it today! What's the biggest thing the practice has taught you so far?

[Lewis Howes @LewisHowes]

What's something you accomplished that you didn't celebrate enough?

[Lewis Howes @LewisHowes]

@100xMart So true. They're not looking for perfect. They're watching how we get back up, and that might be the most important lesson we ever teach.

[Lewis Howes @LewisHowes]

One of the greatest gifts you can give your children is the opportunity to grow up around a version of you that's actively healing, learning, and becoming better.

[Lewis Howes @LewisHowes]

@BrianEasonLead That's such an honest catch, Brian. What's one thing going right on your team this week that the younger you would've been thrilled to see?

[Lewis Howes @LewisHowes]

Your younger self would probably be proud of some things you've become too busy to appreciate.

[Lewis Howes @LewisHowes]

Sometimes abundance looks like a quiet morning, a healthy family, a peaceful home, and absolutely nowhere you need to be.

[Lewis Howes @LewisHowes]

What's a small moment from your childhood that still influences who you are today?

[Lewis Howes @LewisHowes]

Imagine how different your life could look a year from now if you stopped talking yourself out of the things you really want.

[Lewis Howes @LewisHowes]

@MickDeBoer Inner freedom is the perfect way to put it, Mick. When you stop performing for others, you finally get to grow for yourself.

[Lewis Howes @LewisHowes]

Confidence isn't believing you'll never fail. It's knowing that failure won't be the end of your story.

[Lewis Howes @LewisHowes]

@Daniell00062978 Danielle, that takes so much courage. Coming back to your dream after pouring yourself into your family is greatness in action. What are you working on now?

[Lewis Howes @LewisHowes]

When was the last time you felt truly proud of yourself without needing anyone else's validation?

[Lewis Howes @LewisHowes]

@BrianEasonLead That's a perfect example, Brian. The role changes overnight, but the trust gets rebuilt one honest conversation at a time. What helped you most through that shift?

[Lewis Howes @LewisHowes]

Growth can feel lonely because the habits that once connected you to people aren't always the habits that will carry you forward.

[Lewis Howes @LewisHowes]

The people who truly care about you won't need you to abandon yourself to maintain the relationship.

[Lewis Howes @LewisHowes]

Sometimes what you call a lack of motivation is actually exhaustion from trying to live a life that doesn't feel like yours.

[Lewis Howes @LewisHowes]

Do you think peace comes from having fewer problems or learning how to respond to them differently?

[Lewis Howes @LewisHowes]

@ThorstenDembski Huge one. Most people don't lose the deal on price, they lose it by never asking. Clarity is kind.

[Lewis Howes @LewisHowes]

What’s something you wish you had started sooner?

[Lewis Howes @LewisHowes]

@newf0007 Gratitude for starting at all is the right mindset. The second-best time is always today.

[Lewis Howes @LewisHowes]

@palassis Relationships compound like nothing else. The best opportunities in my life came from people, not plans.

[Lewis Howes @LewisHowes]

@CrimeandCannoli Sometimes the simplest truth is the one we need most. 🙏

[Lewis Howes @LewisHowes]

What's one thing your younger self needed to hear that you finally understand now?

[Lewis Howes @LewisHowes]

@sherylgomesms It takes real courage to see the pattern in yourself, not just in others. That humility is where healing starts. Thank you for sharing this so honestly.
