We know what that feels like.
Some might even call it that feeling of flow.
And many, many people that are exceptional in what they do are capable of that.
They can do it.
But the other thing to know is that people that are in these demanding positions, and again, this is all of us, will reach that moment because we're always going to push ourselves.
It's almost like we push ourselves to the first moment of discomfort and we probably push past that.
All of us who function fine under certain circumstances will be vulnerable to the flashlight not staying on the right thing.
to feeling captured more than you want to, being overly broad when you know you need to narrow or not narrow enough when you need to be narrow.

What they felt that they had the agency to do, what they felt was their peak performance will start to slip if the level of demand maintains itself.

And I was first like, oh my gosh.
But he was right.
He's right.
It is the case that stress can be very powerful to get us to perform at our best.
