Formless Performance

Check out this exchange between a reporter and AFL superstar Eddie Betts after he kicked an impossible goal that saw even his opponent give him a high 5.

Reporter "Tell us what you were thinking when that one went through"

Eddie Betts "To be honest I don't really think... in those moments... you just don't think"

It's in the space between our thinking that high level performance lies.

Fear, procrastination, overwhelm.... it's all just misguided thinking. All you need to do is take the next step.

Do you understand the principles that create your experience of life? The good stuff, the bad stuff, its all created the same and understanding the how can make all the difference.

Have you ever loved a song but not known the words? Its because the feeling is what's important.

How do you a climb a wall? You just start.

A few months ago I started using a new computer program that relied on me using coding. It was very specific, typing : instead of ; could really wreck your day. There was lots of technical jargon in the manual and I really struggled. It felt clunky, like their was no rationale or logic to it and things that should have been simple took me hours.

I didn't understand the program and thus it was a grind.

But as the months went on I started to see there was a logic and a system to it and it got easier, the clunkyness went away and while I certainly can't call myself a computer programmer I can now navigate the system with an ease I once thought impossible.

You're innate health is there to guide you to success and a high quality of life. But if you never knew it existed or don't understand how it works life will feel clunky and without purpose.

Two things I hear in this quote.
1. If you love what you're doing persistence won't be something you have to "do".
2. There is always, always, always another level to get to (even at 90 years of age).

Dont Chase Butterflies!

When we slow down life reveals itself, shows us an opportunity that is now and only available now, and if we miss it we dont know when it will be back.

You cant force a good feeling, a beautiful sunrise, a job promotion or a butterfly to sit on your arm, but you can be in the moment, fully aware and ready to take the gifts both small and large that the world is trying to deliver you in each and every moment.

"....thoughts arise like butterflies, he don't know so he chases them away..." - Eddie Vedder

Do we really live everyday or do we think about living?

Thinking about whats for tea, thinking about that problem at work, thinking about that bad stuff that happened, thinking about the bad stuff that might happen, thinking about a new car I can't afford yet.......

Meanwhile the world is unfolding right before you, offering an opportunity right there and then to "live".

Thought is a good thing and a powerful gift we can use to enrich our lives but there is a lot of junk mixed in that throws us off track.

This is why understanding the nature of thought is key to enhancing your experience of life and living every day you take a breath in this beautiful world.

One of the greatest intellects in history valued the space between his thoughts.

Do you use this space? Do you pause to swim in the silence?

Theres more than truth waiting for you there.

The divine, happiness, wellbeing, connection, peace of mind, passion, results it all comes from the same place.

There's a lot to enjoy about Christmas especially the things that just aren't quite right.
