S1 Ep02 - Creating Inspiration & Possibility with Our Projects


Listen Later

Taking on a meaningful project where you're facing resistance ... do you just force yourself because you feel like you should, or because you want to be disciplined?

This works in the short term, but not the long term. We will give up eventually, and feel like we failed.

In this episode, Leo looks at how to work from a more inspired place.

Topics Covered
  • The common approach of forcing oneself to work on a project without feeling motivated
  • Moving from coercion to inspiration for long-term meaningful projects
  • The importance of generating internal inspiration rather than relying solely on external sources
  • Finding your deeper reasons and inspiration for the project
  • How to keep your vision and possibility front and center to combat resistance
  • Continuing to feel inspired and connected to the project's purpose
  • Practicing this process daily, even if it feels challenging at first
