- 0:32SPEAKER_00: If you looked at yourself as a newborn baby,
- 0:36SPEAKER_00: you would never think to say,

- 0:43SPEAKER_00: Maybe someday when you check a bunch of things off a to-do list

- 1:59SPEAKER_00: the profound sense in which there's nothing to do no one to be nowhere to go nothing
- 2:04SPEAKER_00: to know let yourself rest let things be as they are and when you do
- 2:12SPEAKER_00: that surprisingly you find that you know it's not that you stagnate into a puddle
- 2:20SPEAKER_00: of goo and you don't do anything it's just you you come into this deeper
- 2:25SPEAKER_00: relaxation and alignment with life where you can learn to live from that wholeness
- 2:31SPEAKER_00: and let that wholeness live you and breathe you in the way that is innate
- 2:37SPEAKER_00: and natural to you rather than always pushing and
- 2:44SPEAKER_00: and shoving and grasping and striving to try to reach this ever receding carrot on
- 2:52SPEAKER_00: a stick of of success and enoughness this holy grail of maybe someday i will achieve
- 3:00SPEAKER_00: or accomplish enough to be successful you can just discover this different way
- 3:06SPEAKER_00: of living and being where you relax into letting yourself feel
- 3:12SPEAKER_00: that newborn babyness within that intrinsic innocence wholeness purity

- 3:42SPEAKER_00: to maybe someday reach some external success but simply as a natural overflow
- 3:48SPEAKER_00: a natural expression like a bird song a natural expression of an acorn growing into

- 4:21SPEAKER_00: as willie wonka put it it's innate so
- 4:30SPEAKER_00: feel into that if it feels good let yourself rest in that let yourself feel
- 4:35SPEAKER_00: that you are already fully successful
