Talking Message from the Tao

This is a very Taoist technique which speaks often of going with the flow, staying present, and competing without attachment to the outcome. The pure enjoyment of the activity is the reward, not the competition. I have experienced this in an extreme sport that I competed in on the professional level. It was a sport that I would've done for free and the experience was the only trophy that I needed. If I ever got caught up in winning, it seems that I did not perform as well. I am applying this to other areas of my life, now.
