Chapters 84-89 · Chapter set 21 of 22

Trust the Mystery

What’s in the Box?
Work Over Your Head
Write What You Don’t Know
Take What the Defense Gives You
Play Hurt
Sit Chilly

“The professional trusts the mystery. He knows that the Muse always delivers. She may surprise us; she may give us something we never expected. But she will always put something inside the box.”

Show up every single day — sometimes the Muse actually comes. One bad day is nothing to us; ten bad days are nothing in the scheme of a lifelong practice. And when panic shows up mid-jump: sit chilly. Keep your seat, focus on the horse and the wall, and trust that your daily discipline will save you.

1 - Where do you need to have more trust in the mystery and the unknown?

2 - What fears do you still grapple with? What do you need to get over? Let us know so we can help.

3 - How can we help you stay the course — as disciplined and consistent as you promised yourself when you began turning pro?
