Human Brain 2
Human Brain 2 is a follow up article to the original article that is linked at the bottom of this page.
As adult humans we have totally control of how we use our brain. The way that we determine to use it controls what achievements we choose to make in our life and how we lead our life.
In the first article in this series on the human brain we used the instance of how an infant decides at a very early age what it chooses to recognize and what to discard. This is all done by simple, natural and explainable logic: “I am rewarded by humans therefore I choose to use my brain to identify and impress other humans as individuals.”
Now that we understand that we each have the ability to make, or break, brain links it is time to take the next logical step and accept that each of us is the result of the way we choose to use our mind. That is to accept responsibility for all that you do in life whether successful or not. The rules of the human brain imdicate you are the only person responsible because you have total control of your own mind. When you master this the achievements you seek are just around the corner.
If, as a child, you are continually being told that you will never succeed you will soon start believing it and the links that will guide you to succeed are destroyed. Therefore as an opportunity presents you brain will refuse to act upon it – or even send you hint that a link to success is staring you in the face. Your brain has been trained that these links are not important and don’t apply to you. - Instead somebody else picks up the link and runs with it. In a few years thousands of people will look at this other person and say: “Gee, she/he was lucky in life.”
Another example is the person who spots a coin on the ground and walks past it. Just think of the message they are sending to the human brain: “That isn’t important to me.” The brain, the fastest computer ever, registers that money is not important to my owner. - The problem here is that the brain cannot differentiate between small amounts of money and large amounts of money, so when a million dollar option presents itself the brain thinks: “It is only money and my owner isn’t interested in it.” So guess what? It refuses to send the signal. Who do you blame? Why you, the person that ignored the small denomination coin and told the brain to break that link.
Over the years we have profiled many of life’s achievers and the one thing each has in common is that they accept responsibility for their actions. In fact it is probably the only thing they each have in common. So that is your logical first step: Stop blaming others and start accepting responsibility.
The secret for you to start changing your life, and luck, is to start feeding to your brain all that is important to you and discarding what is of little use. That way when the mind identifies something that is important to you it will alert you to the opportunity it presents. Surely this is better than your brain ignoring opportunity?
Is it possible that the definition of luck could be: “Being in the right place at the right time as a direct result of being guided there by the links that your mind makes?” - I accept there could be other definitions of luck but that is a different subject.
Think of how the infant loses interest in identifying monkey as having individual and recognizable faces because it only picks up reward from another human. At this point the infant brain has made a conscious decision to discard a link in preference of another that will lead to greater achievement.
Nobody else can control your human brain, only you, so stop blaming others for where you are and get positive about this wonderful life. If you have negative feeling, or doubts, question them, try to discover their origin and ask if they truly apply to you?
