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.

Another fundamental element shared by each of these celebrated beings was that they were clear in their minds about exactly what they wanted to happen.

When our behaviors match our intentions, when our actions are equal to our thoughts, when our minds and our bodies are working together, when our words and our deeds are aligned … there is an immense power behind any individual.

The more you fire the same circuits by reacting to your external life, the more you’ll wire your brain to be equal to your personal world.

So if you keep thinking the same thoughts, doing the same things, and feeling the same emotions, you will begin to hardwire your brain into a finite pattern that is the direct reflection of your finite reality.

When your environment is influencing your mind to that extent, your habitat becomes your habit.
