- Transformation is transforming who you are, how you function, and who shows up when you do things.
- Life really happens on the inside. Transformation happens from the inside-out. I think everyone’s looking for freedom.
- Freedom means 2 things. Freedom from what and freedom to what. The problem with asking big questions is when you don’t find any answers, you’re tortured.
- Seeking is one thing; the direction in which you’re seeking is another. When we’re looking for things we think will make us happy and they don’t, we will just want more of it.
- Transformation means having the courage to ask the questions that are challenging to yourself, about yourself and about life. Getting caught up in thinking that just getting material things is a destination, which is not a destination, but a tool.
- A Spiritual Alarm Clock: For some people, it’s been ringing since they can remember. Some people have something happen to them that is a wakeup call. It could be a tragedy, a loss, a health crisis, or suddenly things shift and they remember that there’s something else they’re here to do. Their life takes a turn.
- Most of what impacts people has nothing to do with what they see or hear. It has to do with what they feel.
- Only 7% of what we say, people actually hear. They’re feeling us.
- Charisma is simply that really pure transmission of that incredible life force inside of you. You can’t buy it. It has to come from you tapping in. You’re either plugged into the light source or you’re not.
- Investing in your enlightenment, in your awakening, and in your freedom is the most important thing you will ever do.
- You may think you know what you’re capable of doing or you may think you have a limit to how you think you can impact the world, but don’t underestimate your destiny.
- When you’re ready, you will be given opportunities you can’t even imagine now, but you have to be ready.
