You may have heard this a million times, but we often get so excited for and so obsessed with the result that we miss the journey. And if we’re not paying attention to the journey we’re going to get lost.

Happy 2021! (or as I shout out in the audio... "happy 2020" lmao)
And WELCOME to Episode 18 of This Human Thing!! :)

In this conversation, Kärin and I share our own intentions for the new year as well as discuss practices and techniques to making those goals a reality instead of just an ideal to crawl towards. In my opinion, motivation and inspiration are bullshit. They're bullshit to the extent that on their own, they're not enough to bring about real change and transformation. But loving and patient discipline, to bring about freedom rather than restriction, are what will truly get you to a place of joy and fulfillment. That kind of approach is called devotion. And devotion sheds feelings of victimhood, entitlement, fairness, and insecurity. Devotion sheds you of wanting to simply grow to inflate your own sense of self or "get something" and "fix all your problems" and shifts you to a place of operating out of love. A love that only wants to bring about harmony and connection in your own life and in that of those around you.

There is nothing inherently wrong with you. There are merely ways in which you are "missing the mark"... in which you are behaving ineffectively or inefficiently. Accept and love yourself sincerely from exactly where you are and then move forward with devotion and discipline with a deep desire to enhance your clarity and your integrity of interaction with this life. Find freedom FROM the beliefs and behaviors that are keeping you contracted to realize your freedom TO expand, connect, create, love, and serve in this life.  because why not? yolo.
