Podcast episode in which Drew Canole explains how to "live into your mission" by cultivating spiritual perspective, daily rituals, and a mission-centered mindset. He draws on a wide range of spiritual influences (Neville Goddard, Wayne Dyer, Alan Watts, Joe Dispenza) and shares practical practices: rapturous gratitude on waking, writing the next day’s top actions the night before ("day-scripting"), visualizing challenging moments, treating life as a game, viewing others as spirit in disguise, and committing to continuous learning and contribution. The episode closes with a call to action to adopt these habits and engage with the show.
Chapters
Alright, guys, Drew Canole. Welcome back to Drew Andu. Today I'm excited to talk about one thing that has literally transformed my life over and over again, every single day. And it's doing something that's bigger than myself. Alright, so let me preface this with a lot of spiritual work that I've done throughout the past two decades. Like I said in my book podcast, I've read the works of Neville Goddard. I've read the works of Stuart Wild, I've read the autobiography of a yogi. I've read the Bhagavata. I've read Science and Health by Mary Baker Eddy. There's so many books that I've read. And I've also had the blessing of working with a Toltec shaman to actually go into Dreamtime and experience my own death. And in experiencing my own death a thousand times, I've come to one realization, that the Drew that's in this reality is just a small aspect of the Drew that exists outside of this time and space. And I'm saying that because you are far bigger than you could ever imagine, you are far greater than you could ever imagine in and outside of this 3D meat suit.
So that's the first thing. It's recognizing that there's a lot more going on than what we actually perceive. And because we recognize there's a lot more going on than what we perceive, we open up our ability to receive much more. But it takes us getting ourselves out of the way. It takes us really honing in and tuning into why are we really here? What am I really doing? What's the bigger play here? How can I do something that's bigger than me, that increases my life purpose, that has me connected to a universe that is infinite. So much so that it springboards me out of bed every day. How do I have that? And I'm going to share some ways to do that every day. And I'm still continuing to learn. You guys, I'm not a master. I'm not an expert in this. I'm a student, just like you. I'm a guide on the side, helping you on the stage of your life. If you're ready to do that, let's get into this. Okay, so if you're listening to this, there's a reason we're connecting at this time together. There's a reason you're here on this podcast. So, again, like into the last podcast, I want you to just imagine that what I have for you is a gift. And receiving is the hardest part in this human condition. Because there's so much noise in our minds today. So what I want you to do is really drop your guard.
There it is. The espresso. I think every time that goes off on a podcast, I should give away, like, an organifi product or something. Maybe we'll do that in the future. So how do we keep the fire going? How do we stay on purpose? How do we live bigger than ourselves? It's waking up in spirit, inspired, right? The broken down, the definition of it. And how do I do that? I wake up with rapturous gratitude. I'm not grabbing my cell phone. I'm not getting a clubhouse or Instagram or any of these other things. I'm literally putting my two feet on the ground. And I learned this from a mentor of mine, Mr. Wayne Dyer. And I'm saying thank you for my feet. Thank you for planting me here and allowing me to move this vehicle on the planet at this time. Thank you for my mom, for my dad, for my family, for my lovely girlfriend. Thank you for Sammy, thank you for my dogs. Thank you for this. Thank you for that. And as I'm going through this gratitude, I'm increasing my vibrational escrow of appreciation, right? The more appreciation you have, the more you appreciate, which is easy. Appreciate like a house, right? You're adding more value to you and the construct of who you came here to be. So once I'm inspired, once I'm in that state, then I feel like I'm infinite, right? I'm back to my infinite self while maintaining a state of rapturous gratitude. How good can Drew handle it today? And I'm asking myself that so that every single person I come in contact with, they feel it. They're like, wow, this guy really enjoys life. Enjoy. Enter with joy. I'm entering with joy. In every room I go into. Before I go into any room, I'm closing my eyes, and I'm literally seeing my spirit going in there and blessing the people that are in the room before the Drew personality ever walks through the door. And that's a powerful thing. Imagine if you had that kind of an intention, and that's what it's about. So the number one thing is to start your day with intention every single morning. Figure out what your number one action is, and get into it. What's going to move me closer to my bigger vision and my mission for my life? Write it down. Do it the night before because your unconscious mind is actually going to process. Process it while you sleep. Write it down. I used to write it down. On a paper plate. I don't know why I wrote it down on a paper plate, but it's something I learned from my buddy Carl. Three things I'm gonna do, and I would put it on this paper plate and I would eat that before I would eat anything else throughout the day. So it was a reminder of maybe why it was on a plate is it was a reminder of what I had to do before I could even eat my first meal. And when you do that every day, you never lose sight of the one thing and what you want to accomplish. So the intention of the day and the number two thing I would say is, what are you tolerating? What's mediocre in your life that you're just putting up with? Where are you complacent? Where are you afraid? Where are you avoiding? Of going into the unknown, because the unknown is actually a beautiful place. How do you act when times get tough? So what I like to do is I like to visualize the moments that could be challenging to me. I used to do what's called day scripting, and I would write down meetings or important things that were coming up the night before. And I would write it down as if it's the most opportune thing that's ever happened. I would see investors handing me money. I would see clients coming in through the door. I would see weight loss transformations, like, into anything I've ever seen. Like, it's just transformation upon transformation. And when I would write this down, I would feel it in my body. I would feel what it feels like, and I would hold on to it. I would be more intentional about what I'm creating. And by being more intentional about what I'm creating, I'm being more intentional about what I'm putting up with. So many people are just putting up with stuff that they're willing to let go of, but they'll never let go of it. So today's the day you get to let go. I'm calling you forth taking action on this podcast. What's the one thing you can do that you've been tolerating, that you simply get to let go of?
And then also, one thing I do to play a bigger mission and to live in a mission centered life is I turn the reality into a game. How serious are you? Something happens, somebody cuts you off in traffic, Are you like, beep, beep, or are you like, hey, waving at them? Are you smiling? Are you casting that joy out to another human being? Even if they're in a disgruntled place. I think when we start to look at the world as a game, it changes everything. And I heard this from a mentor, somebody who I listened to probably over 100 hours of Mr. Alan Watts. He said, there's three ways that you can get to heaven. One is chanting oh namaha shiv. Or two is meditating. Right, I'm just going to sit here and meditate for 40 years. I'm going to chant for 40 years. I'll play my harmonium, which I love to play, and I'll chant. But the fastest way to get to that enlightened place that ascended being is the Trickster. And what Alan Watts was talking about is looking at life as a game. And if it's a game and you're just a player in the game and you have an infinite number of lives, how would you challenge yourself to do bigger things? What would you be up to in the world? How much more could you come alive in any conversation or occasion that comes into your experience? How can you befriend somebody that hates you? Because if it's a game, there's not much emotion riding on it. Like we give our emotions sometimes in this human experience. So how can you look at life like a game? How can you see. And here's another way. So number four, how can I see every single human being as spirit, as God, whatever you want to call it, in disguise, as Jesus in disguise. And in the game of life, when we start viewing the holographic universe is every single person that comes into our experience as spirit in disguise. It's amazing what miracles will come into your experience. It's amazing what you can see that most people will never see because they're too limited in their own personal identity, their ego. So how can we start to look at every single human like that? Challenge yourself to look at it as a game. Check in with yourself. Set an alert on your phone that says, hey, you're in a game, buddy. Wake up. And when we do that over and over, it changes everything. So another thing, how to live a mission centered life bigger than yourself, is to not stop learning. I love my hometown in Michigan, you guys, Lake city, Michigan. There's 700 people there. But if I go back there, there's a good chance that most of the people that were there when I grew up there are still on the same page. They're doing the same thing. They haven't learned.
Very much. New stuff and we get in these traps. Joe Dispenza says by the time we're 39 years old, 98% of what we do is just a program. It's a continuous pattern that we built in our brain. So I think living a bigger mission and a purpose is to learn every single day. Which is why you see me reading all the time and talking about books, interviewing people that I want to learn from. It's taking leadership courses and doing this and sending the people that I love as well. Because it's all about how can I contribute to other people's lives while I'm doing it? Because the ride gets lonely. If you're just a collector collecting money, collecting assets, collecting houses and cars and things, don't you want to do life with other people? I would much rather do life with other people than having a bunch of stuff. When we start living from our purpose and our mission and we start demonstrating that the universe really starts to deliver more things in our life that are mission centric and they're like proving points, right? So it's being more proactive with our life. It's seizing each moment and getting as much meaning out of every single moment as possible. It's being in a rapturous state of awe, I call it in my book, Ubu, I talk about wow goggles and it's looking at every tree, every bird, every insect, every rock, all these living creatures. The rock cries out silently to source. Everything's alive. Everything's in this living landscape, right? And when I start to see with wow goggles, I observe it if it's the first time and the last time that I'll ever see it. And it brings magic into the moment. It puts me in a state of great heart coherence.
And I just feel that never ending infinitude of oneness that's within everything. Some people call it satori maybe or I've had an experience of being on a plane and I was listening to this music and it was just so emotional that every single human being I looked at, I just knew we were all one. I felt like we were all connected. And tears came out of my eyes. I was on the plane and I'm like, holy cow. And this is what it feels like. And I want to emulate that as much as possible. And I find the more I give, the more I look for opportunities to help other human beings on the planet at this time, the more those moments start to show up. And the goal would be to live in that moment as much as possible. How can I inspire other people, motivate them? How can I make a difference for people that are less fortunate? Right? How can I show up living in that mission centered life. And I think our process for hiring employees at Organifi has a lot of this type of information where for the first two weeks you're learning about our mission, about our movement, about what we're up to in the world. And it's cool to see how open people become to living into someone that's bigger than themselves. And I think this new level of leadership that we're getting into, and I've talked about this on a previous podcast, is living from mission turning your mess into your mission. So no matter what you're up against, take these five things today. Really think what are the most painful moments that I've had? How can I turn this trauma into fuel.
And really start to landscape here in 2021, really start to architect, really start to observe from the gamified position what would life look like if I could have everything in my experience the way that I could see it now, how can I feel the future and pull it to me in this moment? And I think the bigger mission that you have, the bigger levels, the bigger devils so know that's coming, the greater the opportunity is to work on the cellular matrix of your body, to empower it with more voltage, to give more self love. Because the bigger game.
The bigger you. So how big do you want to go? And I'm here as a guide to help you on the stage of your life. And this is about you, which is why this is called the Drew and you show. If anything resonated for you on this podcast, make sure you go over to itunes, leave it in the comments. We're gonna have show notes below. I'm also gonna give you guys some books that I've read recently that can help you tune into your mission and your purpose as well. Maybe I'll pick one person that leaves a comment and give the stack of books away for free. 99. That would be pretty cool. Anyway, I just want to say that I appreciate you for showing up today, for fueling your mind. This is a very uncommon thing to invest in yourself on this planet today. And I can just feel you, I can tell that you're going to new levels in your life. And I can see you stepping into shoes that maybe your family has never seen, maybe the people around you that are closest to you, that love you have never felt. And that can be a very uncomfortable place. That Tall Poppy syndrome, we've all heard that analogy. So what I see happening for you is the grace of God propelling you, uplifting you, leveling your consciousness up so that this 3D world becomes much easier in this moment now.
And that's a beautiful place to be, my friend. So thanks for joining us on the Drew and you show. Remember, we're in this together and make it a great day.
