And we need a clear path and plan to simplify our lives, to reduce all the thoughts.
And that involves having a purpose for your life.
And with InterExcellence, we think about how you want to feel, how you want to live, who you want to become, what's important to you, and start to clarify those things so you can be true to yourself.
And when I say true to yourself,
Half of it's your own personal preference and half of it's understanding how you're created and what you're created for.
Because there's a lot of misunderstandings.
In Interactions, we talk about your heart and following your heart.
But we have to make sure we're clear that the heart has an inherent self-centeredness.
On the one hand, we're created in God's image.
On the other hand, we have human nature.
And if you don't do anything, the human nature is going to take over and you're going to move towards fear.
And so if you think following my heart means doing what I feel the most strongly about.
Then you might be taking crystal meth and you might be eating chocolate as great as that is until you get sick and maxing out the credit cards and leading you to a horrible life or death.
If you follow your feelings, which people translate following your heart is following my feelings.
So you're going to be very careful about following your feelings.
I have a mantra that's I live by purpose, not by feelings.
And oftentimes that's what I say to myself to get out of bed.
Because a lot of times don't want to get out of bed.
That's how the pyramid works.
Do nothing.
