On mistakes

Depth of presence is always a key differentiator between those who are average or good and those who are the very best.

A way to reach the top of any domain quickly is to simply make no mistakes.

Yet we are human and making mistakes is part of our process. On the back end of a mistake, we have to accept our humanity, learn from our mistakes and remain in the present moment to maintain access and choice to the expansiveness that is happening now. it is so easy to trap ourselves in what happened moments ago, staying stuck there as time and the rest of the world flows on without us.

On the front end, there are a few places that create blindspots and biases that have us making choices that are out and out mistakes or lead to mistakes.

Slow down, deepen and widen your presence when you find yourself in any one of these elements and especially when you are in 2 or 3..

• Being outside of your normal environment.

• Being on the downside of your physical or emotional capacity.

• In a sense of urgency.

• In the presence of authority.

• In the presence of large groups doing the same thing.

• When doing anything that requires a high degree of concentration.

• When in information overload.

Do your best work. Be the best.
