When I run after what I think I want, my days are a furnace of distress and anxiety.
If I sit in my own place of patience, what I need flows to me, without pain.
From this I understand that what I want also wants me, is looking for me and attracting me.
There is a great secret in this for anyone who can grasp it.”
You see, we all have moments of deep inspiration to do great work in this world.
Write a book. Create art. Start a business. Support a charitable cause.

… Instead, it comes THROUGH us.
It’s as though the Universe has selected you specifically to bring that great work into the world.
But here’s the problem—When we get inspired, many of us go into stress-mode as we force ourselves to chase that goal tirelessly
