We immerse ourselves in whatever situation we’re motivated toward by finding ways to engage deeply in it.

Mental training requires us to become more aware of our motivation. Are we motivated by achievement, taking a big fall, or are we motivated by learning how to fall?

Warriors pay attention to the struggle itself so they can notice things they can do to support the struggle of others.

Knowing “It’s not about our ego” and “We’re doing our best” allows us to accept situations quickly so our attention is free to flow spontaneously, as needed, so we can learn.

Much of mental training has to do with expanding awareness. Having favorites and preferences interferes with this process.

An important part of freeing the mind, so it can flow, requires finding a middle way through action.

Our attention can narrow to do more tactical practice, or expand to strategically apply what we’ve learned to achieve the goal.

What’s more challenging is finding our way through intangible fears that create a toxic inner situation.

If we pay attention to the need for growth within us, then we can take action without anxiety.

We can be addicted to achievement, justifying any behaviors to achieve an end goal.
