Desperation forces immediate focus through survival instinct, like hanging off a mountain or a hard yoga pose. Inspiration takes longer but builds lasting purpose. Use controlled desperation in practice, but chase inspiration for real change.
And if you want to really hack it all, if you're, if you're just can't, can't stand it, you got to get into this flow state and find your purpose right now. Go do some yoga. Yoga is— there's two ways that we find purpose. I've been sharing inspiration, ways that you can be inspired to find and find and, and buy your purpose. But nothing sharpens the focus as much as desperation. Yoga is a controlled form of desperation. Putting your body into, into these poses that do not feel good. And it's hard to think about anything else when your back is aching and you feel like your muscles are going to tear away from the ligaments and your limbs. If you're hanging off the side of a mountain, you're not going to be too distracted by the other things in life. You will find flow. Survival, the survival instinct has a way of kicking your purpose into high gear. Not a recommended long-term to find flow and purpose, but just know that as purpose-driven creatures by nature. Oh, it's always there and decide how you want to access it. Uh, desperation or inspiration. Inspiration is the earned path. It takes a little bit of time. It takes a little bit of work. Everyone that I know that has done the work has said it has been its own reward and it's changed everything.
