And so the irony is as soon as we make space for the things that we don't want, they no longer impede what we do want. Because we've incorporated that. One of my athletes, a golfer, he tripled his winnings. And one of the things that really resonated, and I said, if you're okay with every outcome, you've got nothing to fear. which is another way of saying what Jack said, right?

If you're okay losing, which is going to happen, especially my baseball players, I mean, the best in the world are still failing seven out of 10 times. So you really start to just recognize what it is to be a big enough human being that you're allowing for what it is to be a human being, which is to fuck up.

I mean, my greatest athlete in terms of the longevity of our relationship, 15 plus years, seven All-Stars, he won the most valuable player, MVP of the National League. There's only one person who does that, and then one in the American League. So it's the biggest accolade you can get as an individual athlete in a team sport. And he won.

And at the beginning of the season, you would think that this was completely counterintuitive to him becoming the best player, which is, I said, you have the capacity to suck. Like that, you have that available to you because he was getting really upset that he kept striking out. And I said, again, the best in the world.

So he knows these things mentally, but he hadn't allowed that to be part of the fabric of his humanity plus his being an athlete, even though he's paid millions of dollars to perform. You know, well, I can't do that because there's an expectation. But as soon as he allowed his system to relax and go, oh yeah, I can strike out many games in a row. Like... he no longer worried about it.

And for that reason, his performance became so much more effortless because he wasn't trying to avoid something. And in the absence of either holding or avoiding, which is the way that we predominantly relate to time, past and future, right? Most people are holding onto a history they haven't yet accepted.

And they're trying to avoid usually the replication of that in their future, which creates fear and stress and anxiety. In the absence of both of those, you're left with what is always there, which is presence. So even the whole adage of, you know, be present or be in the now, it's a becoming instruction, which is reinforcing that you're not.

So my method of working with people in terms of flow state is like, I'm not interested in you being in the present. That'll happen if we just clear out all the shit that you're carrying and all the stuff you're worried about. Then you're just here.
