We had a good friend pass away recently. And dealing with that reality gave us insights into how to live our fullest life.

The reality of life is that one day, we will all transition. Our unwillingness to deal with this reality keeps us from living life to the fullest. We misperceive the permanent for the impermanent and the impermanent for the permanent.

What we mean by this is that we live our lives as if everything will remain as it is. When we go out of the house, we assume we will come back. The reality is that we don’t know. Our time is limited, and tomorrow is not guaranteed. Live life to the fullest today. 

If there is anything that you’ve always wanted, do it today. How do you go about life to the fullest? One is by taking care of your unfinished business because you never know when it will be too late. Two, let the people in your life how you feel about them, and three, don’t hesitate to go for the things that you love in life.

Tune in to this episode and learn how to live life to the fullest by acknowledging your own mortality.

During this event, we delved deep into financial stuff, which was awesome, but what really struck us was one bit of information that we found to be super relevant to us as Yogis. It was referred to as the Abyss Concept.

What holds many people back from achieving their dreams is the Abyss. We love the comfortable and the known; the Abyss is on the other side of this. We have to get out of our comfort zones and get into the unknown to grow. Taking a journey into the unknown is difficult and may scare us, the temptation to go back will be high, but if we really want to grow, we must forge ahead into the unknown terrain.

When you step into the unknown, you'll suck at the beginning. You have to be willing to be bad at something to learn new things and grow. The biggest obstacle to growth is not willing to suck at something. Not willing to step out of your comfort zone will hold you back from your dreams.

Key Takeaways

• The concept of the Abyss (04:13)
• Taking a journey into the unknown to grow (04:58)
• The only way you can achieve your goals (06:26)
• If you are not willing to suck, you'll never be good at anything (10:41)
• In our quest to grow, we have to get uncomfortable (11:52)
• The only person who can get you out of the Abyss is a better version of yourself (13:18)

In this episode of The Awakened Life Podcast, Chris and John discuss the 3 questions that help you get to the core of who you are, what you want in life, and how you can serve.

One of the greatest Yoga teachers, Patanjali, said that whenever we are solely identified with our ego, we bind ourselves to the things that do not have a permanent reality. These things may be our jobs, relationships, bodies, or material possessions, which then lead us to a sea of distress, unhappiness, and illness. Remembering the real you in is not trapped in these things is the key to real joy and freedom.

To find our real selves, we need to answer these three powerful questions. Who am I? What do I want? and How can I serve? When you are able to answer these three questions, you get in touch with your spirit, which is the true goal of Yoga. These three questions shift your internal reference point from ego to spirit.
