http://mindpersuasion.com/ Humans have all kinds of shortcuts in our thinking, which can often times get in the way of our progress. The easiest way to get around this is to simply take your time. Learn More: http://midpersuasion.com/kundalini/

2. The human mind has all kinds of
biases.

3. One reason is to simply cut down on
brainpower energy.

4. If we find a shortcut in thinking, and it
works out, we tend to keep thinking
that way.

5. Sometimes though, we keep thinking
that way long past its point of
usefulness.

6. Like when we're little kids, we learn
that it's sometimes a good idea to
keep our mouths shut, or else we'll get
yelled at or get some kind of unwanted
social pressure.

7. Of course, that strategy doesn't work
so well into adulthood, but most of us
still have it.

8. Other biases are hard wired in, as they
helped our ancestors.

9. For example, we tend to make cause
and effect relationships between
things that don't really have anything
to do with each other.

10. This helped when our world was
simple, and filled with predators, but
not so much anymore.

11. This doesn't stop mainstream media
from pushing all kinds of crazy "links"
in our face.

12. Of course, two things can be linked,
but that doesn't mean one is causing
the other.

13. There was a scene in the old movie,
"The Jerk," with Steve Martin, where
some crazy killer was trying to shoot
him. He kept missing, and was blowing
up a stack of oil cans.

14. Steve Martin's character (The Jerk)
came to the conclusion that, "He hates
these cans!"

15. Many of our conclusions based on
what we see around us aren't much
better!

16. Another bias is something called
"cognitive dissonance."

17. This is when we flat our refuse to see
things that may prove we are wrong,
or not as good as we think we are.

18. This, of course, can help to protect our
ego.

19. But often times, it keeps us stuck.

20. One of the fastest ways to get better at
ANYTHING is to try, fail miserably, look
what you did wrong, and then try
again.

21. We did that great when we were kids,
but now we're terrified.

22. Now when we fail, most of us don't
acknowledge it.

23. Not only that, but we tend to point
fingers at others, as if it's their fault we
can't do what we want, or are even
afraid of trying.

24. But if you're honest with yourself, you
know the truth.

25. This takes a great deal of courage. An
amount of courage most people don't
have.

26. But in those quiet moments with
yourself, you'll know what's up.

27. The secret of doing ANYTHING is just
getting out there, trying, and learning
from all the feedback you get.

28. Instead of trying to keep your ego safe
all the time, imagine how much better
you'll be in the future.

29. Like I said, most people are terrified of
this.

30. They'd rather stay safely in their
comfort zone and blame anything and
everything.

31. What about you? Are you willing to do
what it takes to unleash your
brilliance?
