In 'Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It,' Kamal Ravikant shares his personal journey of overcoming intense pain, depression, and personal losses by adopting a simple yet powerful practice of self-love. The book advocates for repeating the phrase 'I love myself' as a daily mantra to build a strong mental loop, meditate on self-love, and ask reflective questions to align actions with self-love. Ravikant emphasizes that loving oneself is a daily practice, similar to working out or meditating, and that it requires commitment and a vow to oneself. The book is a candid and persuasive guide to achieving personal transformation through self-love[2][4][5].
In 'The War of Art', Steven Pressfield identifies the internal force of 'Resistance' that hinders creative endeavors. The book is divided into three sections: 'Resistance: Defining the Enemy', 'Combating Resistance: Turning Pro', and a final section that discusses the role of the muses and the battle between the Self and the Ego. Pressfield provides practical advice on recognizing and overcoming resistance, emphasizing the importance of professionalism, discipline, and continuous work in achieving creative success.
Start Your Transformation Now
This is a very special episode because it is the first time that I have a guest on the podcast.
Today’s guest is Mr. James Wedmore, who is a very very good friend and he’s here because our relationship perfectly reflects the topic of today’s episode – AYNI. AYNI is an ancient Incan word for the concept of reciprocity of life. James and I play a huge role in each other’s lives and serve each other.
In this episode we talk about in great depth the concept of AYNI and giving with an open heart.
In this episode we talk about:
- [7:20] Why you need to give first to be able to get
- [8:30] The difference between doing something with your heart and giving without any expectation vs. just doing it for the money
- [12:40] Aligning with your purpose
- [17:18] How letting go of things (even if they are valuable) sometimes is the best thing you can do if they are not in your heart
- [29:39] How having money doesn’t change you and your being
- [33:57] How selling is helping others because if people don’t have skin in the game, they don’t get the transformation
- [47:25] How you can manifest anything and give even without having any money
Transformational Takeaway: Your life will become truly amazing if you follow the AYNI principle and you start giving with an open heart to people around you.
