TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:
1. Money is not necessary for real joy. It’s the use of your imagination and your creativity.
2. You never have to let go of control because you never have control. There is only letting go of the illusion of control.
3. We are creative geniuses. The gift humanity has been given is this ability to create things that aren’t there and then make them real.
4. The way to manage your anxiety is to be kind to it.
5. When you’re absolutely present, that’s when this transcendence takes you away.
6. Be kind to your anxiety. Give yourself the freedom to just mess around with what makes you happy. If you can put that in the front and center of your life, you not only feel better – but you experience the world as incredibly magical, and it responds to you differently.
7. Your mission in life is where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.
8. You’re in this huge dance of consciousness and love. You’re connected with the whole universe, as well as being in one little body. And that is the miracle of our existence. Our souls are in this, not to be anxious, but to be beyond all of that in the magic space.
