Did you know that success in life or your goals is an equation?
Success is 20% skill (education/knowledge) and 80% phycology (the thoughts in your head)
When you live by “correct principles” (or have supporting thought patterns)…
And add “smart working habits”…
You get success!
When you believe “faulty thought patterns”…
But work hard or not at all…
You get FRUSTRATION!
We’ve experienced both of these…
Where are you at now?
Is it time to upgrade your skills and knowledge? Or…
It is time to upgrade your thinking?
If you are ready to upgrade your thinking…let’s go!

There is a filter in our brain called the Reticular Activation System (Or RAS)
This system helps you process and filter over 200 million bits of information per second.
Things like what the clothes you are wearing feel like, your heart pumping, and what you are hearing are part of those bits…
Much of this goes on in your body without your awareness (thanks autonomic nervous system).
Your brain only ALERTS you of things that you have asked it to by your questions and curiosity.
For example, when my youngest was 2 years old we played a game to find all the Jeep’s in town.
Whoever got the most “jeeps” won.
I discovered that there were hundreds of jeeps in the tiny town we were living in – enough to fill a car lot easily.
I had no Idea there were so many jeeps.
But because I asked my brain to point out any jeep it saw (so I could win)…
It delivered the information I asked for.
Your brain will make you aware of the things you ask it to.
If you have been living life unaware of your thoughts and how much impact they have, you might consider getting curious about your thoughts and asking your brain more questions.
In the next post I’m sharing a tool that will help tell your brain “hey, I want to be more aware of my thoughts.” Join me at the mind gym.
