Karl Wallenda Mentality

What is the mentality about? High wire artist Karl Wallenda conquered many challenges in his life. He amazed and delighted people all over the world. He performed impervious to fear until one night...he had a dream and saw himself falling.

From that day onward, he couldn't get the image out of his mind. He saw himself falling on instant replay in his brain. Now, all his attention was focused on "not falling."

From the night of the dream going forward, he checked his equipment obsessively. Yet, a few months later, he plunged to his death — a victim of his own mind.

This story provides a tragic example of how negative focusing can pull us toward an outcome we're trying to avoid. If your mind is holding you back from the success you've always suspected was just beyond your grasp.

我们每一个人几乎都有过这样的经历，我们越是专注于某一件事情，越是很难做好。而许多感觉实在难以完成的任务，心里不去想了，以听之任之的心态去对待，往往却又轻而易举地做好了。

当我们能够克服掉“瓦伦达心态”，以一种闲庭信步的心态面对生活和人生的时候，你就是一个随心所欲、左右逢源的人了。
