The secret to high performance is knowing less, not more

Not one human on this planet knows what will happen in the next thirty minutes.

Some may have a vague idea.

Some may have a plan, but they don't know the specific outcome of their plan.

The weather may change.

You may slip.

You might receive a powerful letter in the post from a long-lost relative.

No one knows.

And we, as a species, aren't big fans of not knowing.

At least, that's the illusion we create for ourselves.

Most of our fears are rooted in the icky feeling in our chests because we think we wish we knew what will happen, but we don't.

So there's that gap of not knowing.

And it makes us overcompensate by rooting around in our minds for answers, plans and solutions, making us stressed.

We want it figured out.

But hear this: life wouldn't be interesting if we knew what would happen.

The very thing that holds our interest terrifies us too.

Today, I want to propose something to you (I'm still working on getting better at this myself).

I want you to get good at not knowing.

While everyone runs around like headless banshees trying to have it all figured out...

...Taking on more and more and more information.

Downloading more apps.

Making more plans.

You drop your shoulders, take a breath and say to yourself:

I'm actually okay not knowing.

I have fun not knowing.

A bigger shift takes place in this moment than many can grasp.

We elevate ourselves.

The pressure diffuses, and we find ourselves no longer swaying on our feet.

By embracing the not-knowing - celebrating it even - we become more effective, not less.

Our minds still.

Creativity emerges.

And those around us wonder what the heck changed in you.

To accelerate your ability to handle 'not knowing' you will absolutely want my Untethered Mind course.

It guides you through everything you need to know to manage your thoughts so you aren't plagued by them anymore.

The secret to high performance is here.
