Logic operates in the land of the known, which can only use the past to predict what it thinks it can happen in the future.
but it can't just go completely into the unknown but it's only in the unknown that something different can happen instead of what's already happened in the past and it's just a repeat of that so that's where logic and intuition will look like they are opposing forces and some people i always got this confused too because sometimes you'll think logic is just like thinking about something rationally and objectively but those are a little bit different but in any case at the end of the day we're trying to operate our lives and optimize for joy peace and love

all of which are not really logical. What's logical is making a life for yourself, getting a good job, rising through the ranks, making good money, starting a family, and then just retire, and that's it. That's logical. But how many times when we follow that path are we actually fulfilled?

doing what society says, doing what our parents says, doing what our community wants us to do, becoming the person that everyone else wants us to be, but we know that we're not, living up to and trying to uphold those expectations and opinions about ourselves from other people. That very rarely creates a life that we love, and if anything, suffocates who we really are.

But as soon as we let all that go, we discover... this deep sense of peace and start to peel back the layers of who we're not to find out who we are. And that really starts with following your intuition and going against the grain, so to speak. Following your intuition is really the path to peace. And everyone has to pave their own path in that regard.

We can't follow someone else and expect it to be the exact same as them because we don't want the same things as them. So that's what I discovered between logic and intuition and really following our hearts. More times than not, that's going to yield a much more joyful life.

And it only takes one person to hear that message for it to be worth it. Right. A lot of times we kind of scare ourselves out of doing something simply because We don't think we can make it that big or that successful or anything like that. But to me, the way I approached writing my book was if it helped me, then it already is worth it because I can be that person that I can help.

And if I can help just one other person, then that would be worth all the struggle because you never really know what the impact of one person is. It could be the next person that cures cancer. It could be the next person that finds and facilitates world peace. We never know. And the impact of one person is so great.
