Don't Take Life for Granted: The Power of Gratitude #348

We all have those moments where life gives us a choice – say yes to growth, or stay stuck. For years, I let fear win. I’d hesitate, overthink, and end up doing nothing. But everything changed the day I started saying "yes.”  I remember standing at a crossroads, scared to speak in front of people, doubting whether I was good enough. But something in me just clicked, and I said yes to a speaking opportunity that terrified me. I stumbled through it, but it didn’t matter. That one yes opened the door to the life I’m living now – coaching people from around the world, sharing stages with other inspiring voices, and building a life that aligns with my true purpose. In this episode, I talk about why saying yes changes everything and how it leads to the growth and opportunities you’ve been waiting for. Tune in and learn how to stop living life on the sidelines and start saying yes to yourself!

When was the last time you felt grateful just to breathe? Or to hear your favorite song? We are often there – hustling, wanting more, chasing the next big achievement, and thinking, "I’ll be happy when..." But that mindset actually keeps us stuck in a cycle of dissatisfaction. I know what I’m talking about because I used to be that person. I always wanted more, always felt like something was missing. But then I started to shift my focus to what I already had. I mean, we have so much we take for granted – fingers that can type, eyes that can see, the technology to connect with loved ones miles away. The simple things we never stop to appreciate. Don’t get me wrong – it’s not that our goals don’t matter. They do. But we get so used to the good stuff we already have that we forget to even notice it. That’s why we end up feeling numb, restless, and always reaching for something else. In fact, we’re usually overcomplicating things. The truth is simple: if all you’re looking at is what’s lacking, you’re going to miss the magic of what’s right in front of you. In this episode, I talk about why gratitude isn’t just a nice idea, but the key to a fulfilled life. It isn’t out of reach – it’s within you. So, if you’re tired of feeling like enough is never enough, join me and start seeing life in a whole new way. Tune in now!

This time, I’m chatting with Sarah Stowers about her transformation after joining my "Superpower Mastermind" program.

For years, I thought peace was something I could achieve once I ticked off all the right boxes – success, money, relationships. But inner peace doesn’t come from any of that. What no one around me ever told me was that peace is an inside job.  They don’t talk about it, not because they don’t care, but because many people don’t know how to find it themselves. Or they simply don’t want to be disturbed by your change, especially when it goes against their expectations of who you should be.  Parents, siblings, and friends often feel uncomfortable when you start doing what serves you because it challenges their own comfort zones. They’ve gotten used to a version of you, and your growth can feel like a disruption to their reality​. So, I had to figure out for myself that creating peace meant letting go of old habits, bad relationships, and negative thinking. It meant getting uncomfortable and making real changes, not just in my external world but in the way I approached life internally. And let me tell you, when I started focusing on what brought me peace instead of what others expected of me, everything shifted. I stopped chasing success and started living with intention. In this episode, I’ll break down what you need to do to find inner peace. I’m talking about eliminating the noise, understanding where your peace has been blocked, and creating space for the things that really matter. Tune in and learn how to stop living for others and start creating your own peace. Let’s dive in! Key Takeaways:  Intro (00:00) Internal vs. external sources of disturbance (00:54) Peace is the most desired goal (02:45) Live Event in London (03:33) “Paying your way” to peace (03:55) The lies we live and their impact on peace (09:40) Facing fears as the gateway to peace (12:50) The role of authenticity in achieving peace (15:30) How peace fosters creativity and mental clarity (18:10) Final thoughts (21:00) Additional Resources: 👉 Get your ticket to my live event in London 👉 Join our Community To Access Luke’s Free Trainings  👉 Get free VIP access to my latest success training here 👉 Want to learn more about our 20-week program?

One of the biggest lessons life taught me was when I realized that peace wasn’t something I could chase down or force into being. I thought I had to work harder and achieve more to finally feel calm and at ease. But no matter what I did, that inner sense of peace somehow kept slipping away. That's because peace doesn’t come from external success – it comes from within. So, I began by making small, intentional changes to my daily routine. I started waking up earlier and using the first part of my day to be still and quiet – lighting a candle, meditating, letting my thoughts drift without judgment... No, I wasn’t some kind of meditation guru or perfect at it. But what was really important was taking a moment to connect with myself and quiet the noise. And believe me — these small actions began to shift everything. I wasn’t chasing peace anymore. I was creating it. Want to know more? Tune in to this episode as I break down how you can achieve that same sense of peace in your life. Join me and discover how to stop feeling restless, constantly caught in your thoughts, or drowning in chaos, and start living in peace every single day. Let's dive in! Key Takeaways:  Intro (00:00)  Consistency is the secret to success (00:45) Harness the power of mindset and energy (01:50) Stop overthinking and start taking action (04:09) Aligning with nature’s rhythm (06:26) Luke’s morning routine – a blueprint for productivity (09:16) Why waking up early will transform your life (14:02) Finding peace and purpose in daily habits (16:56) Unlock Your Greatness in London (18:10) Final thoughts (18:45) Additional Resources: 👉 Get your ticket to my live event in London 👉 Join our Community To Access Luke’s Free Trainings  👉 Get free VIP access to my latest success training here 👉 Want to learn more about our 20-week program?

It’s human nature to seek approval. We often mold ourselves to meet the expectations of others – friends, family, colleagues – just to feel accepted. But what happens when that approval never comes, or worse, when it leaves you feeling empty? I used to be there for years – giving more of myself even when I felt unappreciated, saying yes when I was already stretched thin, being a people pleaser, and constantly trying to fit in. I thought it would finally make me feel whole. But instead, it left me feeling anxious, unappreciated, and burnt out. So why do we do that? Why are we so quick to become what others want and lose touch with who we really are? It’s because many of us are still carrying the wounds of childhood trauma. We were told to be quiet, to follow the rules, and that our worth had to come from outside sources – whether that was from family, school, or friends.  So we continue seeking that approval as adults, unaware that we’re still acting out of old patterns of rejection and abandonment. In this episode, I’m sharing how I stopped seeking validation from others and started healing myself. I talk about unlearning toxic patterns and breaking free from the need to be accepted by everyone. Tune in to learn how to reclaim your energy, heal yourself, and step into your greatness – without needing anyone’s approval but your own. Let’s dive in and stop trying to fit in once and for all.⁤​​ Key Takeaways:  Intro (00:00) Importance of self-love and boundaries (03:32) Seeking approval sabotages your relationships (07:15) Break free from old habits (10:52) Change happens through inspiration or desperation (14:05) Creating a plan for real, lasting change (17:05) The power of self-awareness in everyday life (19:21) Additional Resources: 👉 Get your ticket to my live event in London 👉 Join our Community To Access Luke’s Free Trainings  👉 Get free VIP access to my latest success training here 👉 Want to learn more about our 20-week program?

Many of us are trapped in cycles that no longer serve us, stuck in habits that keep us stagnant. We feel guilty for even thinking about breaking free because we don’t want to hurt those around us. Sound familiar? I get it because I lived that for years. I stayed stuck in destructive habits, running the same scripts in my head, thinking this was just how life was. Whether it was snorting coke, binge-watching Netflix, or just escaping in any way I could, I didn’t realize I was programming my mind for failure. The truth is – the way I was thinking was shaping my entire life. But when I finally decided that enough was enough and took the steps to change my mindset, my reality shifted completely. I let go of the old Luke and stepped into a new version of myself. It wasn’t easy. It meant making choices that left some people behind, and it felt uncomfortable, but it was necessary. Once I realized how powerful mindset is in shaping our reality, I started living a life that I'm proud of today. That’s why I created the Unlock Your Greatness event – to help others, like you, break free from limiting beliefs, heal past traumas, and step into the greatness that’s waiting for them. You deserve to feel fulfilled, happy, and fully alive every day. At the event, I’ll be sharing the exact strategies that helped me create a new life. If you join me and other amazing speakers, we'll guide you through the transformation you need. Tune in to this episode to learn more.

Many of us spend so much time comparing ourselves to others, especially when we see younger people finding success early in life. We start to doubt ourselves, thinking we're too old or that we've missed our chance. But what we fail to realize is that true wisdom doesn't come from success alone – it comes from experience, something that only time can give you. You can't fast-forward life to gain the lessons that come with it. In this episode, I reflect on turning 40 and the power that comes with having lived through 40 years of experiences. Over the last six years, I’ve built my confidence, created my own business, and released over 330 podcast episodes, but the biggest lesson I’ve learned is that life experience is my greatest asset. Back when I was 33, I used to think I wasn’t smart enough to run a business, and I believed confidence was something you were born with. I was wrong. The challenges I faced over the years, from overcoming self-doubt to moving to Poland after years of hard work, taught me that confidence and success are built over time. If you're feeling stuck, thinking you’ve missed your chance to change your life, think again. You’re not starting from scratch – you’re starting from experience, and that’s more powerful than anything else. Tune in, and let’s start making changes together – no matter your age. It’s never too late. Key Takeaways:  Intro (00:00) The power of consistency in content creation (02:20) How I broke free from limiting beliefs (04:15) What my parents’ sacrifices taught me (08:40) Growing up in a culturally diverse neighborhood (11:10) Overcoming financial struggles and finding independence (18:50) Why wisdom comes with age and experience (22:30) Following my dreams and moving to Poland (26:00) Why consistent effort always pays off (30:10) How self-love and emotional intelligence changed my life (38:00) Additional Resources: 👉 Get your ticket to my live event in London 👉 Join our Community To Access Luke’s Free Trainings  👉 Get free VIP access to my latest success training here 👉 Want to learn more about our 20-week program?

People mostly spend time trying to fit in. That's the way society programs us from the time we're born. They teach us to meet everyone else's expectations – how we should act, what we should wear, how we should think. Sound familiar? I know it does. But life is too short to spend it the way you're expected to, instead of the way you desire to. We need to break free from the expectations that have been holding us back and step into the full, authentic version of ourselves. Let's ask ourselves for a moment – is there any valid reason to change who we are for anyone? We aren't meant to be someone else's version of perfect. And that's the topic of this week's episode – I talk about saying no to the world that constantly tries to box you in. I also share my own journey of battling self-doubt, people-pleasing, and trying to meet expectations that weren't even mine. But then I realized I shouldn't care – and neither should you. People will judge you without knowing your story, but that's not your burden to carry. So, if you're ready to stop conforming and start living for yourself, this episode is exactly what you need. Tune in, and let's talk about how to stay true to who you are – no matter what. Key Takeaways:  Intro (00:00) Overcoming self-doubt and insecurities (01:36) Unlock Your Greatness in London (03:04) Healing through vulnerability (04:05) Judging without knowing the full story (08:26) Be your own safe space (10:30) No to people-pleasing (13:48) Reincarnation analogy: repeating life if you don’t fulfill your purpose (18:56) Meeting your true self in heaven (23:00) You attract what you resonate with (31:36) It’s okay to be "selfish" when you're saying yes to your future (42:10) Additional Resources: 👉 Get your ticket to my live event in London 👉 Join our Community To Access Luke’s Free Trainings  👉 Get free VIP access to my latest success training here 👉 Want to learn more about our 20-week program?

Our time is the most precious resource we have. That’s the only thing we can never get back. Yet, many of us waste it doing things we don’t like and that don’t serve us. I see it all the time (and I bet you do too): people stuck in jobs they hate, in relationships that drive them crazy, in routines that suffocate them. I used to be in that place, too. I was obsessed with trying to meet others' expectations – fitting in, being cool, being accepted, being what people around me wanted. In all that pretending, I forgot about my own desires. In fact, it's easy to get caught in a spiral where you are chasing the wrong goals and thinking that your own dreams aren't so important. It’s easy to forget that you can never truly achieve success or happiness if you're not prioritizing yourself. It’s not selfish – it’s necessary. So, I made a decision that literally changed my life. I decided to invest time and money into becoming a better version of myself because I couldn't expect anyone else to do it for me. And once I started focusing on my personal growth, everything changed. It wasn’t just in my perception. My life, the people around me, energy, opportunities – everything literally changed. This can happen to you, too. And the best part is that you don't have to wait for the perfect moment to start. There's no perfect time to begin working on yourself. You just have to start. In this week's episode, I'm talking about how you can begin to invest in yourself, reclaim your time, and finally start moving in the direction of your dreams. This is one you don't want to miss – tune in now! Key Takeaways:  Intro (00:00) Progress equals happiness (00:56) Be your own best friend - invest in yourself (04:42) Consistency leads to success (07:30) Stop tolerating negativity (09:22)  Unlock Your Greatness (10:14) From suffering to greatness (12:39) Risk everything to be yourself (17:40) Additional Resources: 👉 Get your ticket to my live event in London 👉 Join our Community To Access Luke’s Free Trainings  👉 Get free VIP access to my latest success training here 👉 Want to learn more about our 20-week program?
