Are you programmed NOT to see success?

You cannot see what you haven’t yet programmed your brain to believe.

Those who know me know I love setting outrageous business goals for myself (not others). Contrary to general perspective, for me this is a good thing. I rarely feel disappointment, discouraged, or ashamed when I fail.

I know that each failure is one step closer to the ultimate objective. Insightful tactics are learnt in the failure process. Importantly, each time I fail, I am going through a reprogramming.

Now, I am not talking toxic unachievable goals. I am talking high reward, low probability goals that would require the following to succeed:

1% luck

2% talent

97% hard work and manifestation

1% mathematics or finance management

Yep, it’s not meant to add up…

Here’s what happens to humans who are programmed a certain way. Your brain is literally only doing what you have asked it to do. As an example, for some its travel to work, suck the vape, hit the gym, play with the kids, go to sleep. Repeat.

You have only asked your brain to give you the information it needs to operate.

We are often just operating or surviving.

Create an environment of opportunistic change deliberately, so that it happens organically moving forward.

Less than 10% of people who strive for success don’t quit with less than that percentage who ACTUALLY succeed. I believe these people constantly program their brains for success, opportunities, through visualisation and stretch tasks.

To get one step closer you need to reprogram a little, regularly.

Our brains naturally create ways to conserve energy. Have you ever gone to your wardrobe and cannot find the shirt you were looking for? It’s there, but you swear the following week (when it magically appears), someone has planted it there to mess with you.

Nope, it was there the whole time. Irrespective of the argument you had blaming your partner in the meantime.

Why does this happen? Our brain conserves energy by ultimately creating a blind spot so it doesn’t have to think harder than it needs to.

The ‘shirt’ is not a shirt, the shirt is an opportunity. We all have opportunities sitting right in front of us, always. However, we have programmed ourselves to believe the shirt does not exist or it's gone.

So, we cannot see it.

If you practice programming your brain right, you program it for success.
