Hello!
So it's Marie again and today we're going to talk about some Spiritual Stuff.
Spiritual Stuff
So Josh and I have a place out in Sag Harbor, New York and if you're not familiar with that
area, it's out East.
Yeah, some call it the "Hamptons."
I don't really dig all that sh*t, it's just a great place by the beach.
Anyway, there's a yoga studio called Yoga Shanti and I'm super blessed to be able to
study with the top yoga teacher, I think in the world, Rodney Yee and also his beautiful
wife, Colleen Saidman who is equally as incredible and brilliant.
So anyway last weekend I was taking yoga class with Rodney and there's always a spiritual
teaching that happens during class.
Rodney said this one statement that really impacted me and has had this ripple effect
throughout my week and I can honestly tell you it's going to go on throughout my life.
Here's what he said, is in relation to us doing this yoga pose; I think we were in Down
Dog and he was saying, "Your heart has infinite endurance."
Your mind and your ego is very weak.
You know so when you're in a yoga pose, if you're trying to like prove yourself or compete
with other people and you're coming from your mind, and trying to get it right and look
good and all that stuff.
That you're going to get tired and you're going to complain, and you're just going to
feel like sh*t but when you're really coming from your heart and from a place of love,
that being tired really doesn't happen in the same way.
It's this experience of joy and really infinite endurance.
I sat back and it really struck me, I thought to myself, "You know, that applies to all
of my life and especially to business."
The way I think about it, I think that whenever your actions are born from love; whenever
you're doing something purely because you're passionate about it and you want to serve
other people, and you're so freakin' excited about it that it just consumes you.
That you can work and work and work, and not get exhausted and not feel burnt out.
Your mind on the other hand or your ego, this is my language, Rodney did not say this.
But I think your mind and your ego, like your mind's a pussy!
Your mind can't take sh*t!
If you're doing something because you want to get ahead or just doing it for the money,
or you want to look great and prove how awesome you are.
It's like you're going to get burned out and you're going to start complaining, and things
are going to suck; and, "Oh my God, why's it not going faster?"
Mrmrmrmr....
It's just a total sh*t job!
So I really wanted to share that with you today because I feel like all of us have the
power in any given moment to check in and say you know, are we operating from our heart
or are we stuck in ego and our mind?
And if we're an ego and mind, there's a pretty good chance that we'll be complaining, that
we're going to get tired, we're going to feel exhausted, and we're going to feel like we're
getting nowhere; and this sucks, and I just want to quit.
When you're doing things based from your heart and it's filled with love, with pure love.
You really will have infinite endurance.
So that's the big ole spiritual lesson today!
I thought it was helpful.
I hope you find it helpful.
