In the last episode, I asked you to consider those moments when we feel like there’s an internal conflict between growth and comfort — between the ‘I wanna’ and the ‘I don’t wanna’ — a misleading conflict brought about through social conditioning. We’re told to muscle through these conflicts with self-discipline. That’s a big part of the hustle mentality that’s taken over a lot of the conversation in the entrepreneur space over the past few years, and that’s probably something you were told by parents and teachers growing up. You just won’t want to do some things so you need to develop the discipline to do them anyway. That’s not really the best way to do something well, though. That’s certainly not the best way to learn, to grow, to become masterful at something. So, in this episode, I ask you to consider how you can achieve growth through healthy obsession, as opposed to struggling self-discipline, and how you can start to develop a sense of healthy obsession in the first place.   ---   Also, I’m excited to announce the next upcoming live course called “Meditation For Awakening: How To Get With Reality” that begins April 16. Meditation has never before been so popular, but when things get popular they tend to become dilute. Meditation offers more benefits than I can name here. It reduces stress, can eliminate anxiety and depression, and when done correctly gives you X-Ray vision into the truth. But the way most people meditate is like visiting a new country and never leaving the airport, and they especially miss out on that X-Ray vision. What’s the impact of not being able to see the truth? Just the vast majority of your problems, that’s all.  If you’ve been listening to my webcasts, you’ve experienced that I have a unique way of getting to the heart of things. That’s the X-Ray vision meditation has given me, and there’s a version of it waiting for you to have as well. Will you let me help you find it? What will your version of deep wisdom and insight look like? I really want to know, don’t you? It’s closer than you think. Are you intrigued?
