Summary Notes

by George

“You become most powerful in whatever you do if the action is performed for its own sake rather than as a means to protect, enhance, or conform to your role identity.“

“To be free of the ego all you have to do is become aware of your thoughts and emotions as they happen. Be in the present moment“? What does this mean to you?

“If you are not in the state of either acceptance, enjoyment or enthusiasm in a situation then you are creating suffering for yourself and others.“

What is your inner purpose? How can you find your inner purpose? Does Inner purpose ever change?
