This is a really great idea.
Thank you.
If I'm content, I'm going to lose out on my, say, productivity.
I'm not going to be as motivated.
And so what I've shared with pro athletes is that, so what you're telling me is that if we take away your anxiety, the anxiety that you have, sorry, I don't like to say someone's personal anxiety, take away the anxious feelings that you've had,
You say that now you've got all this talent and without the anxious feelings, you're just going to sit on the couch and not do anything.
I don't think that's going to happen.
But the other part of it is this obsession with happiness and achievement.
So say you win 23 Olympic gold medals or you become a billionaire.
What's the good?
So if we look at the 23 gold medals, it's very wisely said, focus on the process, not the result.
No, that's what inner excellence is.
What is that process and what is it that we really want?
What are we trying to do with it?
For me, it's the process of developing yourself to have, to walk in love, not fear, to pursue wisdom above all else, to have more courage.
It's not about making money.
Is making a billion dollars good for you?
It may be the worst thing for you.
Because what happens, I think it's pretty well documented that when people get more money, that they become more of who they were.
If you were self-centered, you're going to become more self-centered.
