Power Quotes From The Show
Uncovering Your Purpose
"A lot of people that are out there struggling say, 'What's my
purpose? I don't know,' and that's when the action comes into
place. Because really what you what don't know about is fear,
doubt, worry, or programming. In comparison, the abundant thinker
will say, 'Well, I don't know what I don't know but I know enough
and it feels right and I'm just going to do it. If it doesn't work
out, that's okay.' Trusting that is really the key to purpose; it's
about letting go of thinking that you have it all figured out and
that it has to be perfect or it has to be right. That's the
programming." - Brett Kaufman
Reframing The Mind For Love
"If I just knew then what I know now about being a parent, a
husband, and an entrepreneur, I wish I would have really just
focused on love as the most elevated, most important key ingredient
in life. That means you love your kids, your wife, yourself, and
just all of it with no exception. When you make love the most
important factor in your life, it shifts you into this profound,
embodiment way of being. When you focus on love, you can enter into
a deep mindset so that when you're in a difficult situation, you
can reframe what is happening." - Brett
Kaufman
A Life Of Fulfillment Through Service To
Others
"When it comes to finding your purpose, what you're really
after is this life of fulfillment. Service to other people and this
world is actually a really important part of that self-fulfillment
factor. Giving and serving others is what the world needs. We need
more people, organizations, and companies both for-profit and not
that are aiming at trying to make a difference in the world."
