During these uncertain times, it’s difficult for people to experience a sense of equanimity – where you can maintain calm no matter what’s going on. Our brains are wired to warn us of danger when things are uncertain. In this episode, I talk about how you can develop some calm in the midst of the chaos.

Highlights

• It’s possible to train yourself to maintain calm during times of chaos if you’re willing to listen to your inner voice and follow its instructions.
• We can do better in our business and financially if we let go of our attachment to the outcomes.
• If I’m setting goals based on what I know from the past, I’m not leaving room for new information and opportunities to come to me.
• If you are skeptical and don’t trust others or yourself, it’s going to be hard for you to be able to draw in what you want and need.
• Letting go and trusting is important if you want to find your true pathway.
• If you’re trying to get back to what we had before Covid, it’s not going to happen. So much in our lives is changing – and will continue to change as the story evolves.
• It’s important to develop ways of centering yourself and bringing yourself back to the current moment.
• The idea is to minimize your fear and wait to see what shows up – and there will be some scary moments as we move towards the new reality.
• How willing are you to believe that what’s happening now is to your advantage?
• Are you prepared to die? If you take care of all the details, then you can let go of some of your fear of death.
• If you are afraid of getting Covid or afraid of dying, then you need to do something about it so the fear doesn’t take up a whole lot of your thinking time.
• Fear of not having enough money is actually the fear of dying.
• I talk about how to deal with the fear of running out of money.

To be peaceful all the time, there are certain skills you have to develop.

David M. Howitt is the founder & CEO of Meriwether Group and author of Heed Your Call and an inspiring thought leader and accomplished entrepreneur. David has over twenty years of experience providing financial, strategic, and brand counseling to early stage, and Fortune 100 companies. He has the unique ability to integrate vision and growth strategies with mission and purpose.

Highlights

• David is a big fan of Joseph Campbell and The Hero’s Journey.
• As a young boy, David had the urge to explore beyond the limited world he knew but avoided following that urge to explore. After getting married, having children, and working for years as an attorney, he knew he had to move in a new direction.
• The business owners that David works with are able to integrate their spiritual lives with their business. He talks about the power of and rather than the power of or.
• We talk about what it is that allows one person to move out of the “abyss” and move forward rather than staying stuck where they have been.
• When you let go of what you think you should be and discover who must be that’s when synchronicity can happen and unexpected doors will open for you.
• When he interviewed hospice workers, the number one regret that they heard from people on their deathbed was that they lived the life that other people wanted them to live.
• There is a paradigm shift happening where younger people are beginning to understand that they don’t have to suffer to be considered a productive member of society. They are more interested in experiences than acquiring more things.
• Sometimes we have to follow the wrong path to discern what the right path is for us.
• We repair the world by following the “breath of God” that resides within us.
• The question is, “How do we create the world that we really want?”
• David talks about how the Meriwether Group helps people discover how they can become co-creators of their perfect life and lead from a place of intentionality.
• We are now seeing the integration of Eastern and Western philosophy, of left brain and right brain, of artistry and analytics and that the magic happens with the integration of the ashram and the boardroom.
• The beauty is in letting go.

The Truth of You Shall Set You Free

This past Sunday, I gave a talk at The Celebration, the spiritual group I belong to and thought you might like to hear it. I’ve been interested in the idea of synchronicity for a long time and I shared some of my thoughts about it in this episode.

If you have stories about your experience with synchronicity, I’d love to hear about them. You can email them to Joan at ProsperityPlace.com.
