"We think that we are our intellect. We think that we're the things that we know, the experiences that we've had, the people that we know, what we wear, what we own, that's where we tend to operate from. However, there's this life force in us that has its own plans. And what really works is partnering with that, allowing that intellect, allowing the external world, everything we're told."

"So, I took my, you know, I really took my own interests into that space. I got an executive coaching degree. And so now I combine my experience in business and my master's in business with this inquiry into the human being, human spirit, and how we, how is it that we actually operate?"
"Control alt delete, get out of your own way, step aside, right, go with the flow, because if it's pulling you in 1 direction and you're fighting it, you're never going to win."
"Your life force is pulling you, but you're fighting it. You know, that and so often do you not just see people going, well, that's not how this is supposed to be. And they won't get out of their own way, where there could just be this massive, beautiful, rainbow and pot of gold at the end, and you're just going like, "I'm just not going there because society tells me I'm not supposed to."
"The trick, however, is that because of the way we've been trained, our educational system is the materialism of our culture right now when I can't see what's across this bridge, yes, the pot of gold and the rainbow are on just on the other side of this huge chasm with a rope bridge that I can't see if it's anchored on the other side. For all I know, I can fall off in the middle and die."

"Having to jump from personality to personality to personality to actually get us to do what we're supposed to do, like what you want us to do, like cross the scary ravine. Right? So, I mean, how fun?"
"You're also doing what you are put on this earth to do. And how many people that you work with actually find their purpose."
"No force in the world could have made you a good, happy lawyer. You could have been a good lawyer with a lot more focus, which you didn't have because you didn't want to be a lawyer. But there was no structure that would have ever made you happy and fulfilled and satisfied in that career."
"It's almost like you look at them and you're like, stop."
"Until someone realizes what their actual purpose on the plane is. It's that It's that jumping all over the place. Right?"
"Like, stop. Stop. You're making me crazy because when people around you can actually see the purpose, but you can't."
"When I look back, I looked back at myself when I was 20, and I thought I knew everything. Like, you couldn't tell me anything. I didn't know. Right? I just knew it all, and I thought everybody else was stupid."
"And so, you know, when I look back at it, I think about how many times I made a fool out of myself. You know, at 20 thinking I was all that in a cup of cheese. So, I very frequently apologized to people for my Hi, arrogance."
"It's weird, I will say this. That trajectory that you are supposed to be on, my path was weaving itself back to where I was actually supposed to be. Like, I kept forcing 1 direction and it just kept going. It was weird because I think about these forks in the road that we take all the time. Right?"
