“there's this concept in eastern philosophy that's called woo way which is effortless action... yoga if you go into standing bow and you're like I am going to nail this standing bow you're going to break... pose breaks you writing right you're like I'm going to outwork writer block... sex right you're like I'm going to be the best performer in the bedroom yeah that good luck with that one”

Use wu wei — some pursuits get worse the harder you push

Yoga poses, writer's block, presence in sex, creative breakthroughs, getting people to like you — these all degrade under force. The Western reflex says "work harder." Wu wei (effortless action) says relax into the activity and let it arrive. Identify which parts of your business respond to grind (sales calls, shipping iterations) and which don't (taste, voice, deep insight). Apply force only where force works.
