Invisible force telling me what to do?
Hey!
Arlin here, writing to you from beautiful Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. I'm here thanks to my buddy Jordan (new vlog out with jordan, his baby & friends), who somehow got this amazing villa here for free.
Jordan knows a lot of ppl. The OG tribe course was in many ways based off what i learned from Jordan.
It's a good vibe here. J, his wifey Bianca, their baby, Chloe & Isabella, and Harry Jowsey from Too Hot to Handle. Harry is actually a good friend of jordan’s, so he's part of the crew too.
Lately, I've been diving deep into music - working on the 8AM album. It's coming together, and I can't wait to share it with you. Alongside the music, there's been a lot happening with the 8AM app, and I have some exciting updates to share.
What I’ve been finding on my journey the past six months, having increased my meditation times to an hour every morning and three hours every Sunday, along with reading countless spiritual texts and attending an ashram with monks on a weekly basis, is that I legit can’t do anything that isn’t ‘aligned’.
I’ve tried countless times to turn on my camera to talk about crypto for example or business trainings. but i just hit this invisible barrier, and my energy gets zapped. It feels like there’s an invisible hand guiding me on the path of what to do.
In the past, I had this concept that you are one with God and thus you have the power to control your entire reality.
I’ve evolved that perspective.
Now what I know to be true is that yes you are one with God, but you do not hold the keys to the agenda. There is a plan, God’s plan, or in other words, the all or universe, and your job is to simply allow it to carry you through life without the world, or your mind and emotions distracting you.
I am learning to NOT be ruled by emotions.
My new motto is, “follow God, not your heart”
Your heart is going to play a myriad of songs.
Some of the songs you will f*cking hate, but you still gotta go through them. There will be sad songs. There will be scary songs. There will be depressing songs. But you just let the songs play through your heart.
What you don’t want to do is
a. act off the songs that are playing
b. try to avoid them
You want to simply observe them, enjoy them as they pass through & try to connect to what is playing the sounds of the heart, the guiding hand underneath it all.
And for me lately, I’ve been gravitating or, in my words, being carried by the hand toward music most.
Music has by far been the easiest thing that the invisible hand seems to want me to do.
1 - 8AM Everything:
For those who aren't up to speed, I recently rebranded what used to be called Maxi into the 8AM app as a part of my massive rebranding overhaul making 8AM the overarching brand for everything I touch.
The 8AM app is now a comprehensive platform that has
a global community of people dedicated to self-improvement
interviews with people I find to be inspiring individuals
various courses i’ve created
and Maxi as a feature. Just like Siri is a component of the iPhone, Maxi is now a key feature within the 8AM app.
Feels so good to have total alignment in my brand & business. It should have been all 8AM all along - but sometimes you lose the forest in the trees…
2 - Tribe → 8AM app
One of the most exciting updates is that I'm including the Tribe Accelerator course in the 8AM app. The Tribe Accelerator is a course that teaches you how to build a network of high-level men and women, with step-by-step guidance. Over 700 guys have gone through it, and it's created some pretty wild transformations Previously, this program was sold for between $1,000 and $5,000 depending on level of access to coaching & the group but now it's part of the 8AM app for all members.
So - I obviously could be charging thousands for the Tribe course & the other stuff that’s packed into the app - but it just didn’t feel aligned. And again, I’m not forcing anything anymore.
Surrender over force.
The 8AM app is priced at less than a steak at a nice restaurant, easy and simple, and insane value.
If you're interested in joining the 8AM app, the community + tribe & even more i’m not ready to announce just yet, you can click here get the first month on the 8AM App for just $1 with the coupon code arlin2024.
