re: real growth

Hey friend, 

Yesterday I spoke about how I believe that real reason books, courses, and information in general helps people, is actually because of something deeper (or hidden) taking place beneath the surface.

That when someone reads a book, does a courses or goes on a retreat and has some sort of transformation, we generally credit that as the reason. And it deserves it, but only partly so.

I believe there is something more foundational that is to be credited.

1. The process of giving yourself the best of your own attention

2. Creating the space to receive 

I’ve found that when you receive the best of your own attention and stop giving it to everything else outside of yourself- you begin to thrive and everything in your life does as well.

And when you create space, by letting go- you finally have the space to receive something greater that what seems to be currently available.

By prioritising these 2 things- I have moved forward to a much greater degree then when I have put all my energy into the “grind.“
