You guys know that Bryan and I are passionate believers that drifting is the #1 enemy to living a powerful life.
Drift is that state of existence where you think you’re in conscious control of the decisions you’re making…but in actuality it’s your unconscious beliefs, outdated habits and patterns that are piloting your plane…taking you to destinations you don’t desire to go.
This is why you can have all sorts of success on paper, but have the experience of unfulfillment on the inside. That disconnect is a dead indicator of when you’re drifting in life.
We’ve all been there before, some of you may be there now, and we’ll all eventually find ourselves in that state of drift again at some point in the future.
But how long you stay stuck in drift is a choice.
You can just as easily choose to build the muscle to bring
awareness to when you’re in a state of drift, and to break free
from it with speed and precision.
And when you’re able to do that consistently, you start to live a
life of your own design…a life that you’re inspired to live.
So today, we’ve got one powerful brother who’s broken through drift time and time again…to create a life he loves living.
I’d like to introduce you my friend, Raj Jana.
