YOU HAVE TO LET GO.

Finding Happiness Through Fame with Imagine Dragons

So many of us make decisions because we feel like we have to do something.

Whether itโ€™s the religion we grew up in, what our parents want, or what we feel is culturally acceptable, we often betray ourselves.

But you can only live this way for so long before you start to break down.

Youโ€™ll lose sight of who you are and suddenly realize you donโ€™t know how to find it.

Itโ€™s a lonely feeling.

For me, this point came after I got injured in football. I was forced to look at my decisions and figure out what I wanted.

On todayโ€™s episode of The School of Greatness, I talk about spirituality, relationships, and mental health with one of the most successful musicians of all time: Dan Reynolds.
