My zen Buddha partner said “Do not overthink it. You have all the talent and experience we need to win.”

“Do not overthink it. You have all the talent and experience we need to win. Play as you know how to play.”

Do you ever think you need to impress and play above your game? It’s a waste of time.

If you’re in the room, everyone has already decided you belong there. They sensed your talent and all you have to do is show up and sing as you know how.

So many of us Overthink the situation. It pulls us out of our divine intuition into our rational limited minds and we checkmate ourselves.

By staying in the moment — even as the scoreboard went away from us and then back into our favor — we won 1st place!

Where are you overthinking your job? If they thought you were stupid, they wouldn’t have hired you. And if you tricked them, they would have fired you by now!

So what’s preventing you from playing it how it intuitively makes sense to you and turning down the volume on the peanut gallery?
