The document discusses the concept of 'sleight of mouth' language patterns that can effectively challenge limiting beliefs and suggests that human understanding is often based on flawed perceptions. It emphasizes that many beliefs are influenced by fear and the desire to protect one's ego, leading to inaccurate interpretations of reality. To overcome these limitations, the document encourages acknowledging fear and progressively dismantling it to achieve personal growth.

1. Has Your Data Been Rigged?

2. There's a collection of language
patterns called "sleight of mouth" that
can pretty much destroy any
argument.

3. Most people are kind of shocked to
believe that almost ALL of what we
"believe" is true really isn't.

4. It's really only one way of looking at
things.

5. Bottom line is humans a pretty simple
creatures. Our minds are hard wired to
be very quick, or not very accurate.

6. One of the many ways this shows up in
how we "link" two things out in
"reality."

7. And unless that linkage is based on
exhaustive scientific studies with
rigorous double blind testing
(something that's almost NEVER done,
btw) we really don't know for sure.

8. Since most "studies" are VERY
EXPENSIVE, they need to be paid for.

9. And then tend to come out to "verify"
whatever the money source wanted to
verify.

10. Anyhow, back to those language
patterns.

11. One of them is called the "Model of
the World" pattern.

12. Somebody tells you a limiting belief.
Instead of disagreeing with them, or
flat out telling them they are wrong
(which most people do and only makes
them dig in more) you can say, "Hmm,
that's an interesting way of looking at
things."

13. Then you can conversationally bring up
other "interesting ways of looking at
things" and let your friend or
conversation partner, ON THEIR OWN,
realize that there really are MANY
models of the world.

14. However, as humans, this is pretty
tough to do on your own.

15. If you've ever seen those goofy
hypnotist shows where they convince
people there are tiny people in their
watch, or the number three has
vanished, it's clear that we are VERY
GOOD at ignoring stuff we don't want
to see.

16. So often times our "models of the
world" are really only to protect our
egos, or keep us "safe" even though
there's really no danger.

17. Most people are ruled by fear, but at
the same time won't ever admit they
feel ANY fear.

18. Simply admitting that irrational fear is
standing between where you are and
what you want makes you feel like
you're destroying your own ego.

19. When was the last time you heard a
friend say, "Well, I'd like to do that but
I'm afraid, so I won't."

20. Rarely, if ever.

21. They usually have some kind of logical
sounding reason. Something that
makes perfect sense. And keeps them
safely in their protective comfort zone.

22. Of course, you know that the ONLY
WAY to get the good stuff in life is to
get outside your comfort zone.

23. And the EASIEST way to do that is to
simply admit to yourself that you're
afraid. And then proceed to dismantle
that fear, piece by piece.
