Poker With Presence

When you stop resisting what is happening, you free up your ability to find creative solutions to the problems you need to solve

The more you go into your head, the less you're able to stay connected to your intuition and  subconscious knowledge, which is what's needed to play well in tough, unknown spots.

If you always wait till the big moment arrives to focus on being completely present, your overall performance ceiling is far lower, and you end up creating far fewer big opportunities for yourself.

No matter what your journey is, you can always increase your level of effectiveness by increasing your level of investment.

Taking pleasure at the sight of someone else's pain is a sign that you've lost connection between yourself and what your own highest goals for your performance are.

If you're looking to grow regularly as one who plays with presence, you need vision and clarity—which come through reflection and anticipation.

The more you open to feeling your feelings as they come, the more you'll improve your mental and physical well-being in your life—and your performance capabilities will go higher than ever before.

Nothing is more damaging to your long term success than avoiding the emotions that come with the swings of the game. To play your best in big moments, you've got to learn how to feel it all as it comes.

It might look like the trash talker has a million different tricks, but it's really just one.

When we lock in to a read without being open to feedback from our environment, it can often lead to big errors in judgement later on.
