Optimize With Brian Johnson | More Wisdom In Less Time

In our last +1, we did some swooping and gliding and hunting with a red-tailed hawk and our bird-watching guide: Carlos Castaneda.   Today I want to chat about that hawk again.   I mentioned the fact that he’s not worried about whether or not he’ll find his prey.   He’s just hunting.   Calmly, 100% focused on the PROCESS.   Letting the outcomes take care of themselves.   He’s not up there flying around thinking to himself, “OMG. My family’s going to starve if I don’t pull it together and find a mouse soon. I’ve been flying around up here for TWO HOURS (!) already and I haven’t seen a single mouse. Where’d they go? OMG. OMG. OMG.”    Enter: Castaneda and his wisdom: “Once a man worries, he clings to anything out of desperation; and once he clings he is bound to get exhausted or to exhaust whomever or whatever he is clinging to. A warrior-hunter, on the other hand, knows he will lure game into his traps over and over again, so he doesn’t worry.”   Now…   To be fair (and to state the obvious)
