When the Buddhists and the Navy SEALs say the same thing, you might want to pay attention.
Most people make the mistake of thinking that clutch performers like Steph Curry or Michael Jordan or Tom Brady are clutch performers because they operate better under pressure.
But that's not true.
They don't operate better under pressure.
Nobody operates better when they're stressed out, freaked out, and things are chaotic compared to how they operate when things are calm, when they're present, when they're fully available.
Nobody works better under pressure.
What those athletes have discovered, have trained themselves in, have developed is a capacity to work better under pressure than those around them.
They look like they're clutch performers because everyone else succumbs to the pressure.
They find their peace even when others don't.
How do they do that?
Well, that where the Navy SEALs and the Buddhists say the same thing.
They both say that you don't rise to the occasion.
You sink to the level of your preparation.
What clutch performers are doing is they're sinking to the level of their preparation, just like everyone else.
It's just their preparation was so much better.
That's what mindfulness and meditation really is.
It's preparation.
It prepares your brain to operate smoothly, calmly, in a grounded fashion, no matter what is going on around you.
That's why the real estate agents I train outperform the real estate agents that don't meditate.
Because meditation is preparation.
