James Altucher interviewed T. Harv Eker in his 100th episode and it blew my mind.

It might be that I am too much into personal development right now but his key lessons resonated so much with me that I want to share them here.

The last and for me THE most powerful learning from T. Harv Eker, I want to share with you is:

Embrace both sides of yourself.

At some point in his life, Harv became a Zen monk. The reason why he wanted to become a Zen monk was that being in business and chasing the money, wouldn’t make him truly happy and fulfilled. After a while, he realized that it wouldn’t make him truly happy and fulfilled — either.

He felt trapped.

He thought dualistic — either this or that. He thought that he had to choose between successfully building businesses OR being spiritual.

That’s when he realized he can have both — being wealthy and spiritual.

That’s when he realized he should embrace both sides within himself.

In her book, The Dark Side of the Light Chasers, Debbie Fords advises us to make peace with our dark side to truly transform ourselves.

It’s such a strong message — worthwhile repeating. You CAN successfully build businesses and have a balanced, spiritual life.

You can be kind, generous, loving, spiritual and extremely RICH — if you want to.

Let’s breath for a moment and internalize

… mindfully breath in and breath out for a moment, I think what your monkey brain up there is thinking and wants YOU to think right now?

What kind of automated thoughts come up?

Now, I want you to say “thank you for sharingbut I choose to think in [this way…fill in the blank].”

Don’t be let by your thinking patterns. Here, I shared how you can use verbal programming to change your thoughts.

What do you think about changing your thinking patterns and your habitual behaviors? What is your progress?

Share your ❤ below — and respond with your thoughts.

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Fearlessly love and build the life you truly deserve.
