Why Wanting It More Pushes It Away

from THE GOOD LIFE. by Tim Schröder · host Tim Schröder

Wanting your goals harder is exactly what keeps them away. Here's why, and how to shift from pushing to attracting.A few years ago I quit my engineering job with no plan. A year later I had one client and was completely stuck. Then I stopped pushing, surrendered, and within six months a whole yoga business came to me on its own, six weekly classes and my own studio inside a single week. In this episode I break down why wanting is really the feeling of not having, how that contracts your energy and blocks the very thing you want, and why dropping the fear doesn't make you passive but finally lets you create from desire instead of lack. We finish with a short experiment you can do right now to feel the difference between wanting and having in your own body.
