There's one school of thought to structure, grit, and grind to achieve anything. Then there's another which calls us to surrender to this grasping and then surrender some more. It beckons us to sit in presence, in being, in connection with the energy around us and let whatever flows, to flow. 

In this episode, I talk through stories of authors that were taken over a kind of spiritual flow state who all have a similar claim - that they were not the ones who wrote their books. The book took no effort, as though the pen in their hand was moved by another force. They all say "the book wrote itself." Each of these books is an international bestseller.

I think it's a fascinating concept to let go and get carried by the spirit. There's a constant tension between the grind to work, and the letting go and flow. I'm trying to do less grit and grind, and instead, meditate on being in connection with the Earth and universe, and let my work and inspiration flow from this.
