He has relentlessly created beyond this reality for his whole life, always following his awareness & gone further than most people think is possible. He is one of my greatest inspirations & one of the few people that truly has my back.\nIn this episode we have a very honest conversation about the beginning of my sobriety & how Gary was the catalyst for the biggest (and most uncomfortable change) I’ve ever undertaken.\nSometimes true caring is tough love, something that Gary was willing to deliver that I now know saved my life.\nTrue caring is recognising when you’re enabling someone’s addiction vs. when you’re actually helping. It’s also recognising what someone can receive & what they can’t.\nWe also talk about what it means to have your own back, and how you can’t give what you don’t have.\nAnd what does it mean to have brutal honesty with self? Something both myself & Gary have to work at every day.\nKey takeaways;\n- No one else can be a source for you, they can only be a contribution.\n- Need is a creation, not a reality.\n- True freedom lies in being willing to be, and knowing you can be, everything.\n- Choice is the creation of all possibility.\nRESOURCES & LINKS\nwww.ellugar.com\nwww.brendonwatt.com\nwww.accessconsciousness.com","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/91tvAOGegaBANBRQRdvSYxR8si6aG_NgZykTQKslmGU/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8wYzUy/MDkyYmYzNjYyM2Vj/NzYzOWNkZTdlOTY1/YjRlYy5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
