Deep dives

The Essence of High Performance

High performance is defined as a state of flow characterized by absence of resistance, defensiveness, anticipation, and regret. In this state of being, presence and awareness are key, allowing individuals to connect to their spirit and consciousness. This transcends human identity, recognizing that the self is not merely a physical being but an ongoing process of consciousness. Achieving this flow state allows one to engage in peak living, where awareness shifts from external perceptions to the intrinsic experience of presence.
