Welcome back to more of our archived content! Today we are going to be sharing Lester Morales’ powerful story. I have the honor to have worked with him in his business, and he and I have become really good friends over the years.

In this interview, he goes deep into how meditation helped him realize his full potential; giving more room to grow as a person and allowing him to reach new heights for his business. Here are some of his insights:

• • • One thing that I only started doing after working with you is my personal meditation. Meditation doesn’t even feel like a forced thing anymore. What’s great about it is whatever’s coming up for me on that day, I’ll find a guided meditation. Today is the anniversary of my mom passing away. This morning I found a guided meditation about remembering your loved one. So what’s been amazing is whatever’s coming up at that very moment I could lean into as opposed to what I would do before, I’d work right through it, just so I wouldn’t think about it anymore. It was all those things I would shove aside. I can’t tell you how much I’m craving meditation lately. I try to do it two or three times a day if I’m feeling stressed. It has been a life-changing habit.

    • It is the ability to knock out the noise and focus on what needs to be focused on. If you get too wrapped up in social media or the real media and you start focusing in the wrong direction, reading all this bad news, what do you think that’s going to do to your energy? I think meditation for me has been a clarity and focus point that tells me, in order to do the job that I want to do, which is to impact lives, I need to be my clearest self. In order to be my clearest self, I need to be focused on thinking about the right things. And so my clarity has been on another level even with all the distraction out there. 

    • How I used to feel was “I’ve made it here, and I want to make it there, but I can’t do that same proportion of work or I’m never going to have anything outside of work.” I think meditating has been a recognition of how if you put a little bit more focus on the things that matter you will have much more confidence moving forward. You can have success and recognize that you should be grateful for that success. One of those ways you’re grateful is by helping and impacting other people. It’s not something that I ever drew correlations to, but it absolutely makes everything a hell of a lot more worth it, that’s for sure.
