Episode notes
Right Brain Fuels Purpose
- Our culture favors left-brain thinking leading to anxiety and narrow views.
- Passion and purpose thrive in the right hemisphere, involving openness and broader awareness.

- First check if you're tired before searching for your passion, as exhaustion dulls curiosity.
- Rest for a few days to let curiosity 'rise above empty' and attract your attention naturally.
Follow What Pulls You
- Seek things that pull your attention naturally rather than pushing yourself to do them.
- Being pulled toward something feels like "that's really cool," unlike forced effort.
