So finding that out and delegating anything else that devalues you is what I set out to do at age 27.
And within 18 months, I pretty well gave it all away.
And I basically teach, research, write, and travel.
That's about it.
Teach, research, write, and travel.
I'm pretty useless outside that.
Technology I delegate, business administration.
I just teach research, write, travel pretty well every day.
I wouldn't change anything back there.
But I would say that I was very grateful to go through a few intermediate steps to get feedback on how important it is not to try to be second at being somebody else and not try to worry about whether people like or dislike you.
When you can embrace both sides of yourself and be the hero and the villain, the saint and the sinner, and realize nothing's missing in you,
You're the most extreme of everything that could be even known, the most virtuous, the most vicious.
When you can embrace all of that, then you're not going to be distracted by people's opinions.
But as long as you're disowning any of those, the world on the outside will run you and you'll have evoked potentials instead of spontaneous potentials guiding your life.
So there was a concern in my 20s, what will people think?
Or what would happen if I did this?
And that gradually kind of became less of a priority, if that makes any sense.
Because I realized that I could have the whole world against me, but the question is, do I have my soul against me?
My soul being the state of unconditional love in my most authentic state.
And you're going to be liked and disliked no matter what you do.
