“We shouldn't base our current performance on our past records”

“Neutral thinking is a high-performance strategy that emphasizes judgment-free thinking, especially during crises and when we are under immense pressure. It's a real mental strategy that acknowledges that the past is irrevocable and unchangeable with mantras or morals. Neutral thinking shuns all attempts at illusion or outright self-delusion, which are often the foundation of other motivational systems. It takes away our biases and faces us with reality.”
