Today’s bonus episode we’ll be sharing a message that Adam sent to our Project | U participants about preferences. Adam explains how our “preferences” include the little things, like how we want the weather to be, and how even those small desires can pull us away from our higher self. We will never be able to get rid of these preferences completely. However, we can learn how to separate these from our goals by letting go of the outcome and bringing joy and enthusiasm to every moment.
