Spiritual Growth Fuels Business Success
How do you have goals and things you want to accomplish yet still remain peaceful, and not get impatient or disheartened if it seems like what you want is taking forever to show up or come to fruition? This week, Hallie and I talk about how to still have goals and stay motivated, but detach from the outcome and surrender to the reality of “now.” We first talk about the idea of how the mind talks us into believing that getting something will make us feel a certain way, and how the emotion we are looking for can come from within us first. We then discuss how to let go of the mental tension when your outer life looks different than what your internal expectations had, and why real spiritual growth can be the hardest path to take but the one that’s going to ultimately give you what your soul desires in both business and spirituality.
Hear about two real-life stories of personal and spiritual growth from past Project | U participants.
