How to Find What Success Looks Like For You

It's not just like, "Oh, follow your passion." It's a little bit more of a complex formula. Like, what are you interested in? What are you passionate about? Also, like your nature. Also, uh, how can you make money? That type of thing. Yes, looked at subliminally and logically.

Right, another one of the big things that also affected me and helped me a lot is being able to connect my logical mind with my emotional subliminal mind. Okay? Meditation helped me a lot. It brings those two things together and so on.

But if you can align what you're emotionally attracted to, which is an extension of your nature, and you then align that with what you intellectually say that you should do, and you have those in alignment, you're really good.

Um, like, I think somebody might make the mistake of thinking success—you asked me about success—and you might say, "Ah, it's making a lot of money," or, "Ah, it's having a lot of power," or whatever. No, that's not accurate.

Okay? And that may be, you know, like, um, how does it feel? Uh, in other words, okay? Money, for example, has no intrinsic value. It is not in and of itself something. It's only valuable in that it buys you something.

Okay? Pay attention. What is that something? And what is it that it's satisfying? Is it freedom that it provides you? Is it security that it buys you? Uh, is it status that it's buying you? What is it that is the underlying thing that's mine that is pulling you in that direction?

And if you know those things and you guide yourself both intellectually and emotionally, and then when they're both in alignment, and you go in that direction, you will make the discoveries and the choices.

So it's not so much different from thinking about, let's say, what food you might eat.
