Many people subscribe to the notion that you have to struggle your way to success, that you need to suffer now in order to get the things you want (the car, the body, the relationship, the money) so that you can finally be happy. Yet from my experience, I’ve found the opposite to be true. In this episode, we’ll explore how to begin tapping into the natural flow of success that makes receiving the things you desire as natural as breathing. Rather than chasing the future, learn to focus on those feelings you desire right now, and partner with that effortless energy to achieve greater success in any area of your life.
