Following your gut reduces anxiety and makes failure more tolerable than failing by following someone else's expectations.
And I think that once I understood that everything is right and everything is wrong, it revealed a lot of pressure off me because you just can do it so many different ways. And that was really liberating to me. So follow your gut because there is no right and there is no wrong. You know, out of that, out of all these books that I haven't read, there is one that I do that I have. It's Breathe by Rickson Gracie, arguably the greatest jiu-jitsu fighter of all time.

It's not the best thing in the world. So that relieves pressure from you, which means that just follow your gut because that puts you in a position in which the decisions are probably going to be right. Because if you fail, you fail your way, which feels better often than failing doing it somebody else's way.
