In this question-and-answer session during an online webinar, bestselling "letting go" author Guy Finley talks about the enormous difference between so-called success in the world, and the realization of a person's highest spiritual possibilities.

Guy Finley explains that success in your spiritual life follows the understanding that "in my weakness is thy strength made perfect."

Guy Finely explains that looking for the approval of others and trying to live up to their expectations are the seeds of a cultural trap. Learn to do what's right in spite of what the world says, and you will flower into a truly profitable human being.
