Let me ask you a question:
Have you ever had a taste of the optimal human experience?
The state of consciousness that professional athletes, spiritual masters, and culture-shifting artists swear by as the key to their success.
You’ve felt it before.
- That sense of unbreakable confidence.
- Feeling light on your feet and secure with your future.
- The moment where skill becomes art and you no longer care what people think.
- You feel as if you don’t exist and can’t think of anything you’d rather be doing.
It’s called the flow state.
A state of peak experience, maximum enjoyment, and effortless productivity.
It’s quite similar to “being present.” You know, the thing that spiritual gurus won’t stop preaching about.
Presence comes from an open state of focus. You release your mind from attaching to any given thought and become one with life itself.
Flow, on the other hand, comes in handy when in the pursuit of a lofty goal. You become one with the task in front of you, which leads to the actualization of a meaningful goal.
