The Process is the Outcome

<p>We all know that goals are transient. They might bring us some short-term pleasure but the periods between the goals, the goals we actually get that is, are often peppered with consistent feelings of lack, frustration and disappointment.</p><p>Despite knowing this, we still live lives where we’re mostly striving for, and only occasionally arriving at, a state of fulfillment. It’s a hamster wheel that’s kept billions of us busy through countless lifetimes.</p><p>In this episode, Thom explains that we do this because we’ve got our achievement process backwards. He exposes the ‘fulfillment fallacy’ and gives us a practical method whereby fulfillment becomes an input into the process, rather than being a result of the process. </p><p>So if you’re ready to get off the hamster wheel, this episode is just what you need.</p><p><strong>Episode Highlights: </strong></p><p>[00:40] Did I Make a Difference?</p><p>[03:02] How Do You Get What (You Think) You Want?</p><p>[04:49] Creativity and Action</p><p>[06:51] Achievement… Then What?</p><p>[08:12] What is the Source of Thought?</p><p>[09:47] Thought Has Energy</p><p>[11:22] Thought Has Measurable Energy</p><p>[12:55] Thought Has Intelligence</p><p>[14:24] Consciousness Has Thought</p><p>[16:20] The Purpose of Thinking</p><p>[18:02] Self-Generating Charm Through Vedic Meditation</p><p>[19:36] Nothing Gets Better Than This</p><p>[21:06] Being - Complete Fulfillment</p><p>[22:38] AKA Samadhi</p><p>[24:39] How Desperate Are You?</p><p>[26:00] The Fulfillment Fallacy</p><p>[27:41] Collateral Damage</p><p>[29:02] What Needs to be Done?</p><p>[30:36] Let It Go</p><p>[31:55] An Evolutionary Agenda</p><p>[33:46] Exporting Fulfillment</p><p>[35:55] The Need of the Time</p><p>[38:36] Stirring the Warm Bath</p><p>[40:00] You Won’t Get Fulfillment From That</p><p>[41:41] Scaling New Heights</p><p>[42:56] Baseline Happiness First</p><p>[44:12] Stop Seeking It Where It is Not</p><p>[46:21] One Percent</p><p>[47:52] An Ingenious Thing</p><p>[49:36] Living the Outcome While Engaged in the
