Wonderful article, Tom, but you missed one thing: The YouTube link to her performance. Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dg0h9iZ1ZAg. It brought tears to my eyes.
Totally agree with you. Alysa Liu Is a great example. I came to similar conclusions in the following part of my upcoming book:
It’s not that people “on the path” lose the drive to do anything. It’s that their ambition slowly gives way to inspiration. And that is why, despite being less outwardly ambitious, creative, spiritual people often accomplish more, not only in the soul-economy, but also in the market-economy (as a side-effect). As they evolve, they stop being driven by ambition and discipline, and they start being driven by inspiration and devotion. And devotion beats discipline every time. From the outside, they may still appear to be “ambitious,” but their internal motivation has completely changed.

Thank you, Robert. And me too.

Perfectly said. Let me know when your book becomes available.
