And the problem is that the bigger the mountain you're trying to climb, the bigger the W you're trying to get, typically the more delayed it is between when you start behaving like a winner and when you start being a winner.

And most people don't get the fast enough feedback loop to know that they're on the right path.

when they are taking these first steps in the right direction because they have this really big goal, but they forget that with that really big goal comes the even longer delay that it takes to get there.

When you're growing in a business, it's very painful.

When you're stagnating in a business and you're plateaued and you don't know what to do, it's very painful.

When you're declining and you also don't know what to do, it's very painful.

And so that means that all conditions of reality are painful.

And so if pain is a prerequisite for reality, then it means it's just a signal that we are alive.

And so in thinking about that, rather than pain is a problem, it is a signal that I'm breathing and then becomes irrelevant.

You know, in the beginning, you're like, I feel bad.

And then you think that that should weigh on the decision of whether you do the thing that you're supposed to do.

And then you start realizing that you can do the thing, even though you don't feel good about it and you start hypertrophying it.

But I think the ultimate version of the hypertrophy, when the muscle becomes a tendon or it just becomes fused is when you don't even consider how you feel.

It's just not a thought.

You just keep, you just do it.

Champions just interpret anxiety as excitement.

And if you're excited to go up, then you're like, I'm amped versus I'm stressed.

But it feels the same.

The way you frame it totally changes how you feel when you're stepping on stage.

But my two cents of if you are feeling lots of anxiety, it means you need to practice more.
