The Right Vehicle at the Right Time

You will learn that, in order to find the right vehicle for success, you need to approach life with adventure and enthusiasm. Citing his own example, David shares that whether it is trying out adventure sports, an exciting personal relationship or a new business adventure, he always embraces change with unbridled enthusiasm.  

A huge proponent of entrepreneurship, David shares that you cannot really lead the life of your dreams when you are working for someone else.

Do you fear the unknown in your personal and professional life? Scared of change, is your scarcity mindset hindering you from realizing your maximum potential? If yes, you will find this section particularly interesting.

The Right You

David simplifies the workflow for achieving desired end results. The first step towards achieving results is manifestation, which leads to thoughts. Good thoughts translate to good feelings and positive actions. Vice versa, poor thoughts result in poor actions.

We also discuss the importance of living in the present. Most people, David points out, have a fondness for drama, and tend to give too much importance to non-events. If you fall in this bracket, David urges you to snap out of it before you are sapped out of all your energy and potential.

So, how can you do so? Firstly, David urges one and all to be conscious of the environment in which they operate it. David shares his lofty goal of creating conducive environments where people can test and transform themselves.  While our brain is NOT attuned to make us happy, a positive environment and conscious effort can help us get there.

Another common factor that hinders your success is resistance to change. When you embrace change instead of fighting it, your comfort zone becomes bigger and bigger, allowing you to do.
