In today's spiritual perspective episode, we are going to talk about what it means to do the work.

What does it look like in real life? And we've all heard that term, do the work. I do the work. You should do the work.

exactly what it looks like to do the work, why it's important to do the work, and the best

three people who raised their hands who had already meditated that morning.

And then I'll say, okay, well, who's meditated every day this past week without fail?

And those same three hands will be up.

And then I'll say, okay, well, who meditated every day this past month without fail?

And maybe two of those hands will drop and one hand will be remaining out of the 100

people in the room. And I'll go, okay, you're my daily meditator. And then I'll continue the
