You look at the five little spaces where the putt can go because where your eyes go, the putt goes. So get on the plane and the guy beside me says, I'm a whitewater rafter. And let me tell you, there are times when it just looks like all rocks and just a little tiny bit of water, but you never look at the rocks because where your eyes go, the boat goes. I was like, okay, something's happening.

I get off the plane. I go take a horse riding lesson. And my teacher says, always look where you want the horse to go, where your eyes go, the horse goes. And I was just like, I get it. I get it. Where my attention goes, my life goes. Hmm. If you feel stuck, I'm there for you. Tell me everything. And when you're done telling me everything, I'll say, where are you free?

And when I started finding the places I was free, one by one, these incurable symptoms disappeared. I'm 61. Last month, I went on a walk in England and I walked 75 miles in six days after being told I'd never walk again. It's because I know how this thing works and we can use it to lock us down or we can use it to set us free no matter what.

I started looking at the things that hurt most because it was like having knives stuck in me, these thoughts that I thought... And everybody has these, I'm not good enough. This person doesn't love me. Life is a bitch and then you die. Whatever it was. I'd be like, life is a bitch and then you die. All right. I'll never get out of this bed. Okay.

That hurts. I'll always get out of this bed.

That can't be true. I'm lying. Wait, wait. I can read a book and be a million miles away. I can watch a show and space travel. I can talk to a friend and feel everything they're feeling and be at the dance where they're dancing. And I am free because the human imagination can do anything. That's where my attention went and that's where my life went. Because everything else just hurt too much.

And the thing to notice is just, does it feel a little bit better? Does it feel a little bit freer? What's happening when people feel stuck is, and I don't want to get all brain science-y, but honest to God, there's a little spiral that happens in a part of our brain that it's such a strange thing.
