In this episode, I (Vinny) discuss cultivating our Life Energy, the unique constellation of stars which shines within each of us. 

We’re here on this planet to bring our Life Energy to fruition, making the constellation of who we are shine as brightly as we possibly can.

To understand our Life Energy, we must look to who we were before the world tried to make us what we’re not; this is difficult, as playing a role may often result in an overt display of success.

Yet even if the world tells us we’re progressing, that doesn’t mean we’re cultivating our Life Energy. 

It’s not what the world says, but how we feel — a visceral sensitivity in our heart and soul. 

Sometimes it’s subtle — a sense of peace in the morning instead of angst. Sometimes it’s overwhelming as laying in the sea, drifting with a mighty current.

Either way, we feel something. 

Even if things don’t make complete sense, it just feels right.

I don’t know exactly where my path is heading, and that’s more than okay. 

I have the utmost faith that I’m on track, for I’m often touched by unexplainable, positive emotion that says keep heading in this direction. 

I’m here in Japan because I’ve heeded that call, following my intuition to get out into the world. Now that I have, stars are aligning which I can’t comprehend.

This concept was greatly inspired by one of my favorite writers and thinkers, Robert Greene, and his book Mastery. 

It’s one of my favorite books of all time, and one I highly suggest to anyone who desires to know themselves on a more profound level.
