I was with a group of founders recently, and it's a group that's really focused on their inner work.

Many of them have achieved a lot of material success in their lives,

often at the expense of their emotional and even physical well-being.

And they're now investing their time and money into workshops and retreats and meditation and therapy.

In our chat, many expressed a deep appreciation for having the resources to do this,

and also a concern that if they didn't have those resources,

they'd be left with no choice but to go back to their old ways of driving themselves with fear and anxiety.

So this had me wondering,

how often do we take something that can legitimately

support us in our path, whether it's resources or security or love or community, and then turn it

into something we're afraid to lose, placing yet another condition on our freedom and our joy?

Today, on the art of accomplishment,

where we explore how deepening connection with ourselves and others leads to creating the

life we want with enjoyment and ease. I'm Brett Kisler, and I'm here with Joe Hudson. How's

it going today, Joe? Well, that's a heck of a story you just told.

I mean, what hits me as soon as I hear that story, first of all, it's like go back to

anxiety.

They're still in it.

If they're scared that if they need something to be happy, the anxiety, it hasn't changed,

right?

I was anxious that I needed to get this money and now i'm

anxious that it's going to go i'm anxious that i'm incomplete without money is it hasn't changed right
