Whether you want to get invited to juicer games, or just have more good things come into your life, you need to be able to connect with others in a way that feels good to them—from a place of genuine authenticity.
The thing about you that you're most embarrassed about is also the thing that's going to give you the most fuel to propel you to your highest goals, once you get fully resolved about them inside yourself.
Presence can take you far beyond making more money at the poker table. And once it does, you'll make even more money at the poker table.
There are thousands of different ways people try to manipulate their thoughts—but only one way to directly make your nervous system feel better.
The more you open to feeling your feelings as they come, the more you'll improve your mental and physical well-being in your life—and your performance capabilities will go higher than ever before.
Depending on what state you're in, you might be seeing what's actually there, or you might just be making up a whole bunch of stories in your mind and then acting on them.
The way that you approach small decisions that have very little consequence either way determines how well you're going to be able to stay connected and solid when you find yourself facing a very big decision that will matter a lot.
You'll never create lasting change if you can't find the thing that's currently keeping yourself from acting in the way you'd like.
As you stay more present and connected to yourself, your style will emerge, and it will be unique to you.
Your ability to focus deeply on the task in front of you—without splitting your attention off into the future—will determine how well you can perform at any given time.
When you start to identify too strongly with your issues, they become a necessary part of your regular human experience, and you'll do whatever it takes to keep it that way.
