We talk about:

• Hitting personal rock bottom and realizing:
  • “I think I’ve just been fucking lying to myself… about who I am, what I want… and I think that’s evidenced by the fact that I don’t know who I am and I don’t know what I want.”
• The danger of fear-based decision-making (by far the most common way to make a decision):
  • “If you make too many decisions out of fear - your own life strangles you.”
• Wishing that others would “get it” and why trying to change them or their mind is a fruitless pursuit for everyone involved:
  • “You can’t make anybody do anything; we will change when we want to or when life forces us to.”
• The importance of, and power in, leading by example. Be a light!
• How your beliefs shape your experience:
  • “Your belief isn’t what you say - your actual belief is how you act.”
  • “If you’re acting as if your belief is true, does it make your life better or worse?”
• Creating massive change in a world that is desperately in need of it:
  • “Your entire world is a reflection of your inner world. We won’t have peace in this world until people have peace in the heart.”
  • “You can’t change a reality you don’t accept.”

• Want to give back, make a difference, and find meaning & purpose?:
  • “If your life is the curriculum, what is the lesson?” Learn, understand, and share that.
• What we’re all searching for:
  • “We all actually want the same thing. We are on a quest for wholeness.”
