Hi Friends! Each week when I sit down to write, I think about what has inspired me and what might inspire you. Finding inspiration is usually easy for me, but I try to avoid one trap that is ever present in today’s connected society. You will want to avoid it, too.
I appreciate that your current practice was helped in large part by something with an end goal not entirely aligned with your own. I think we have an easy time turning our noses at things that don't line up exactly with our own ideas of ourselves. It takes a measure of humility to accept teaching and wisdom from a teacher we disagree with.
Although I didn't agree with the instructors end goal for me, I am a great admirer of what they have accomplished and their goal to share (and make millions doing it) how they got to where they are.
The key for each of us is to be open to the possibilities and use what fits our goals. Their first lesson was, "Create and give it away for free." I took that and ran with it. :)

I hadn't thought of it that way.
