Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself

If the limbic brain had a motto, it might be: Experience is for the body.

If the neocortex had a motto, it might be: Knowledge is for the mind.

You have to feel as though whatever you want is in your reality at this very moment.

The moment you begin to feel the way you think, you begin to think the way you feel

experience enriches the brain even further than new knowledge.

To Change Your Life, Change Your

Beliefs about the Nature of Reality

And wouldn’t we focus our attention on what we want, instead of continually obsessing about our problems?

your thoughts have consequences so great that they create your reality

Let’s face it—none of us is perfect. Whether we’d like to make some change to our physical self, emotional self, or spiritual self, we all have the same desire: we want to live life as an idealized version of who we think and believe we can be.

As long as we use familiar feelings as a barometer, as feedback on our efforts to change, we’ll always talk ourselves out of greatness. We will never be able to think greater than our internal environment. We will never be able to see a world of possible outcomes other than the negative ones from our past. Our thoughts and feelings have that much power over us.
