**Key Takeaways:**

Our beliefs shape our thoughts, actions, and results. If we want to change our results, we need to address our underlying beliefs.

Success and achievement can be addictive and driven by a fear of disappointment or a need to prove oneself.

True transformation requires unbecoming and unlearning, rather than simply acquiring new knowledge or skills.

Reconciling past pain is essential for finding peace, contentment, and fulfillment.

A relationship with a higher power and a higher purpose can provide sustainable fuel for personal growth and success.

**Quotes:**

"The pattern always reveals the problem."

"We suffer to get well, we lose it to find it, we give it away to keep it, we die to live."

"Our primary task should not be to seek after success, but to seek after and find all of the barriers within us that stand against it."

"Grace creates the void that grace alone can fill."

"We don't achieve our way to our full potential, we die our way there."
