I want to talk to you about mastery and flow states. When we become master of things, right? Those things work through us. It's natural, it's effortless, right? It just occurs. We master something and it's fantastic. We feel powerful, we're effective, we don't even think about it, we're masterful in it. And flow state. This idea of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi who talked about that thing that athletes and other people know in peak moments where there's just kind of you're in motion, you're in action, you're being powerful and effective, you feel free and easy and you're highly productive. That notion that people go and they seek out psychedelic experiences to work on and they try to get themselves a little kind of high and get out of their head and that whole, whole kind of thing you can access again and again. And the flow state and mastery are highly connected, I would say, in my experience. So the first thing about mastery to get is that mastery, the beginning of mastery really is to give up ever finishing. When I think about the things that I'm fairly masterful at today, I'm actually still deeply at work on getting better at those things. I'm interested, I'm curious, I'm looking to level up and those are some of the things that I'm the best at in the world. I'm constantly tweaking and getting better at them. So the first thing to give up is sort of being finished or done with anything. Like if you want to get finished or done with things, you're clearly not mastering at it and not masterful because you're wanting to put it behind you. But when you're actually engaged in something ongoingly, never being finished with it, always working on it, that is kind of the beginning of mastery, at some point, something just becomes so unconscious, but you're actually still active at work on it, right? But you don't put a lot of intellectual effort into it. Now, flow state. So what does mastery have to do with flow state? Well, if you think about mastery and flow state, right, if you are being masterful in every area of your life and you are actually engaged in something, and the sort of people that I talk to are very much engaged in things, right, you're at work on, you have an idea for a business, you're at work on a product or service, you're leading a team, whatever, you're up to something. You're not just a person sitting on the couch, right? Those people who are mastering that leadership and then applying that to all areas of their life will find themselves regularly in flow state. So if you take on the core skills of leadership for yourself, leading by example, leading from the front, setting an example, walking the talk, eating your own dog food, whatever you want to call it, right, you're actually practicing, you're not a hypocrite, and you're bringing it the same leadership ideas and skills that you're at work on at work, you're bringing to your fitness, to your relationship, to your family, to your friends, to your hobbies, to your spiritual purpose in life, to whatever it is when you bring that kind of engagement and those same skills, right, the work skills and the life skills, they're not really different. We relate to people, we engage people. We go to work on things in every realm, in our hobbies, in our pursuits, in our volunteer work, like whatever it is, that same thing. If you'll take on being masterful at that and being up to something, you will find yourself again and again in flow state and more and more regularly. If you neglect any area, if you ignore something conscious, sometimes we're not aware of something, right? I'm not even thinking about it. It's not on my radar. But when you notice something and then you shut it away, that'll rob you of your ability to be in flow state. When you don't practice what you preach, when you don't walk the talk, when you're a hypocrite, it'll rob you of your flow states. So see what that does for you, see what there is for you. Lean into, see where you might be being hypocritical, where you might not be walking your talk, and just take that on, whatever it is, wherever the gap is for you to walk the talk, eat your dog food, practice what you preach. Take that on in every area of your life and you will find before too long that you are again and again in flow state and that feels fantastic. You will feel more powerful, you will accomplish more and the people around you will see and will follow your lead and will do similar kinds of things.
