Evolve Your Brain

We determine the experiences we want to engage in, based on how well we can predict the familiarity of the feelings those experiences will trigger.
-Joe Dispenza, D.C.

This wonderful eloquent quote from Evolve Your Brain essentially sums up the human process.  Stop and think for a minute about the leaders, agents of change, and those who create history books and how they have mastered the ability to harness this natural human process and use it to their great advantage. That ability is to proactively alter the “prediction of familiarity” of their feelings so that they can pre-determine what they feel when they reach their goals. And perhaps by far most importantly what they will feel (and what it means to them) when they “fail.”

All of the geniuses and people of excellence I have studied share this attitude. Unlike nearly everyone else, they have learned (or even taught themselves), that failure is a precious gift when you have a strong purpose. Those who are not afraid to fail, even welcome it, are the ones that win.

Personally I like to embrace failure because that’s when I truly learn quickly and effectively. But I also recognize that most people still choose to interpret the word “failure” so negatively that it derails them. So I usually try to transform the linguistic representation into “feedback.”

Feedback is the breakfast of Champions!
