Spiritual development requires the freedom to connect with different parts of reality in order to understand them more fully.

Steve Pavlina

We primarily grow as human beings by discovering new truths about ourselves and our reality.

Discovering Grows Reality
Curiosity is more flexible and practical than belief.

Belief Curiosity Practicals
Do what you love, but be damned sure it’s profitable. If you do work you love, but it doesn’t generate income, your business will fail. If you do work you hate, but it generates income, your health will fail… and your business along with it.
STEVE PAVLINA

Business Hate Passion
Productivity = creating value and delivering it to people. All other busywork is unproductive fluff and should be minimized.
STEVE PAVLINA

Creating Value People
It’s a serious character weakness to think you can get something of value for little or nothing, to believe that life will flood you with abundance when you won’t commit yourself to delivering your best contribution in exchange.
STEVE PAVLINA

Believe Character Thinking
You must assume 100% responsibility for your financial life. If you’re going to improve your situation, you have to put the full burden of doing so squarely on your own shoulders. First and foremost, you must hold yourself responsible.
STEVE PAVLINA

Firsts Money Responsibility
Hard work is painful when life is devoid of purpose. But when you live for something greater than yourself and the gratification of your own ego, then hard work becomes a labor of love.
STEVE PAVLINA

Ego Smart Work
If you want to achieve some really big and interesting goals, you have to learn to fall in love with hard work.

Falling In Love Goal Hard Work
If you dislike the answers you’re getting from life, try asking better questions.
STEVE PAVLINA

Answers Asking Trying
I want my life to have had more value than just acquiring stuff and living comfortably. I may die rich, or I may die broke. But I won’t die with my music still in me.
STEVE PAVLINA

May Thought Provoking Want
When you fail you discover your boundaries. You map out the edges of your capabilities. And this allows you to eventually move beyond them. Being wrong eventually leads to being right. And even where it doesn’t, it’s still a more interesting path than being nothing.
STEVE PAVLINA

Boundary Capabilities Eventually Right
I think the best friendships are those that can stand the test of time, where the friendship is based more on who you are than on what you do or what you have.
STEVE PAVLINA

Best Friendship Tests Thinking
Using passion as your only fuel will no more assure you of success than being in love will ensure a successful long-term relationship.
STEVE PAVLINA

Being Inspirational Love Passion
The exact process you use to build courage isn’t important. What’s important is that you consciously do it. Just as your muscles will atrophy if you don’t regularly stress them, your courage will atrophy if you don’t consistently challenge yourself to face down your fears.
STEVE PAVLINA

Exercise Fear Stress
Tackling challenges that are too big for you is what makes you grow as a human being.
STEVE PAVLINA

Challenges Thinking Waiting
In the absence of this kind of conscious conditioning, you’ll automatically become weak in both body and mind. If you aren’t regularly exercising your courage, then you are strengthening your fear by default; there is no middle ground.
