“We have to be motivated by an inner intention instead of our external goals. Otherwise we'll be a slave to those goals and will miss out on the opportunity to truly express ourselves, create massive value and shift the planet. If you start a creative project like to write a book and you don't have an inner intention for why you are doing it then your mind will latch on to the need for a specific outcome and ask questions like "how can I write a book people will like'' or "what sells?". If you don't lead with an inner intention that is driving you forward and listening to the inspiring creativity of your heart then you will be victim to the external results and opinions of other people. If I was writing this book for an external result I wouldn't be able to do it. Instead everyday when I write I have a powerful intention for unfolding into more of what I am and creating a deeper connection with myself and the wisdom that is coming through. I want to see what I become more than I want to see what I get from it.”

They’re not allowing the flow of life to clean out all the stagnant past that they are holding on to by constantly growing and evolving.”

“My mind can easily see the instant high it would get from eating burritos because that is part of my old story—it knows what will happen if I do that because I’ve done that thousands of times. I’ve eaten thousands of burritos, and strangely, it’s never ended all that great, but for some reason my mind still wants that predictable, instant, short-lived result of eating a delicious burrito. My mind can’t see what all the results of meditation might be because the possible results that could come from it are beyond my old story and completely unknown. We can’t create a future that is more abundant, more free, or more fulfilling if we keep repeating all the same habits that we’ve learned from our past. This is where a lot of the real work comes in. We often have to experience the momentary feelings of pain that can come from breaking out of our habitual patterns and into something new. It’s like driving on a paved road your entire life and then realizing that road doesn’t take you”
