Brian Johnson reflects on Michael Singer's advice from Living Untethered: if you can't serve what's in front of you or create harmony at home, you're part of the problem, not the solution. The key is showing up fully and moving from theory to practice.
Hey hero, if you're enjoying these daily plus ones, make sure you head to Heroic us to check out all of the other goodness we have to help you activate your best every day. And now, today's plus one.
Hi, this is Brian. Welcome back to another heroic plus one. In our last plus one, we took some notes on Michael Singer's formula for success. As you may recall, he told us, my formula for success was very simple. Do whatever is put in front of you with all your heart and soul, without regard for personal results. Do the work as though it was given to you by the universe itself. Because it was. To which I said, yeah, I love that wisdom gem so much. I memorized it and I often repeat it to myself during the day and even at night. We'll talk about that and some other quote mantras I use soon. Today we we're going to talk about another passage from the same book on the same theme. In Living Untethered, Singer also tells us, and I quote, if you can't even serve what is put in front of you, how are you going to change the world? Seriously though, if we can't flip the switch and consistently get ourselves to show up powerfully and do our best by focusing our energy on what's important now, how are we going to change the world? Singer continues by saying, and I quote, if you are getting so upset about conditions in the world that you're edgy with everyone around you, you're not helping anyone. If you can't create harmony within your own household, what right do you have to complain that countries are shooting missiles at each other? You have to live a life that if everyone lived it, there would be peace. If you can't do that, you're part of the problem, not the solution. End quote. That's today's plus one. Another super simple idea that's a lot easier to get inspired by than to live in integrity with. Let's be part of the solution. Let's close the gap and show up as the best, most heroic version of ourselves. Let's move from theory to practice to mastery and change the world one person at a time together. Starting with you and me and all of us today.
We hope you enjoyed today's heroic one. For more ancient wisdom, modern science and practical tools to help you flourish in energy, work and love, head to Heroic US where you can get started on your heroic journey for free.
