Superperformers leverage passion and process to become everything they can be. We share this foundation of opposites with all of life in general. We inhabit a universe of chaos and order, left and right, male and female, expand and contract. Everyday we buy and sell, twist and turn, think and feel.
The ancient Chinese philosophy of yin-yang holds that everything in nature consists of opposite forces, which must remain in balance for life to thrive. The yin and yang are opposing forces that constantly shift, operating in continual conflict, but at the same time in need of each other for completion. These opposites drive each other towards creativity and excellence, while at the same time restraining the other to inspire harmony.
Twenty-first century physicists exploring the immutable forces of nature have come to the same conclusion. In referring to this inescapable influence, Nobel Physicist Niels Bohr’s famous complementarity principle described the paradox of the particle-wave duality encountered at the subatomic level of light. Bohr discovered that fundamentally, light consists of streams of particles (photons) that simultaneously behave like waves. Afterwards, Bohr saw evidence of complementarity everywhere. Not just subatomic particles, but all of reality, he insisted, fall under the sway of complementarity: “‘We have been forced to recognize that we must modify not only all our concepts of classical physics but even the ideas we use in everyday life . . .”
Superperformers leverage this same ubiquitous relationship. It is this interaction that is the nuclear reactor of Superperformance. This is the sweet spot. Superperformers have simply joined their tangible and intangible parts to “escape to a new level” of performance.
If there is a mechanics of optimization it must be a quantum mechanics.
