Carlos Espinoza’s Reviews > The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself > Status Update

The most important thing in life is your inner energy. If you're always tired and never enthused, then life is no fun. But if you're always inspired and filled with energy, then every minute of every day is an exciting experience. Learn to work with these things. You do this by just relaxing and releasing. Remember, if you love life, nothing is worth closing over. Nothing, ever, is worth closing your heart over.

Infinite energy is always available to you. At any moment you can draw upon it. It just wells up and fills you from inside. When you're filled with this energy, you feel like you could take on the world. When it is flowing strongly, you can actually feel it coursing through you in waves. It gushes up spontaneously from deep inside and restores, replenishes, and recharges you.

Being conscious about the present requires effort. It is very easy to get away on your own thoughts when you’re not in the present moment.
If you ever want to re-center, just start saying "hello" inside, over and over. Then notice that you are aware of that thought.
Be aware and everything will change.

You're ready to grow when you finally realize that the "I" who is always talking inside will never be content. You will not be able to solve anything outside until you own how the situation affects you inside.

Life will continue happening even if Our internal voices said otherwise.
That voice talks because you're not okay inside, and talking releases energy.
Your consciousness is actually experiencing your mental model of reality, not reality itself.
In the name of attempting to hold the world together, you're really just trying to hold yourself together.

We obscure the simple truth of freedom with our mind, emotions and preferences.
