Hi,
LET'S TALK ABOUT HOW YOU CAN HELP YOUR BRAIN TO HELP YOU.
Do you know that your brain wants to help you?
Really...
Just that it doesn't know how.
Over thousands of years, your brain has been naturally programmed to help you do 2 things successfully.
1. Survive
2. Reproduce.
SURVIVE:
Your brain alerts you of dangers.
It warns you when you are about to take risks or do new things.
It forces you to get the basic things of life that are enough for you to survive.
Food, water, clothing, shelter.
REPRODUCE:
Your brain wants you to pass on your genes to the next generation just like your ancestors did.
That is why men get naturally attracted to a woman that looks fertile.
And women get attracted to a man that looks like a provider.
But you know what?
These 2 things:
Survival and Reproduction are not enough to move you to the next level.
In fact, if you operate solely based on these basic responsibilities of your brain, you will be like "the masses"
What do the masses do?
They go to school.
Get a certificate that allows them to get a job.
That is because the job allows them to get the basic things of life.
Food, water, clothing, shelter etc
Then, what do they do next?
They get married.
And they have kids.
Some have plenty kids.
And they spend the rest of their lives just surviving.
Playing safe.
Taking zero risks.
Even their brain goes to half sleep at this point.
It has helped them to survive and reproduce.
But what about THRIVE?
What about PROSPER?
Our brains wasn't programmed to do things that will make you prosper.
And the reason is:
Things that help you prosper are usually things that are risky and difficult.
So, your brain raises an alarm each time you are about to do such.
So, what do people who prosper do?
They FORCE their brains to get used to the activites that bring prosperity.
When their brains wants to waste time on social media, they force it to read a book.
The brain cries.
But it does it anyway.
Now they see an online course that could help improve their lives.
They want to buy it.
Once again, the brain says:
Why don't we spend that money on a playstation instead and play nice games instead?
But they go ahead and purchase the online course.
Now, that is another wahala because the brain doesn't want to sit down and study an online course.
Not when there are thousands of movies on Netflix it can watch.
Or thousands of comedy skits and videos on Youtube and tiktok.
So, the brain tries to stop them from going through the course.
But they force the lazy brain to study it.
At this point, Mr brain is sweating and crying so bad.
But it is also getting used to this.
When you keep doing this, your brain eventually starts getting used to this.
Then it accepts it.
And it even starts pushing you to do more.
That is how you help your brain to help you.
Again...
Don't just survive and reproduce like what majority of people do.
I WANT YOU TO THRIVE AND PROSPER 🙏
HAVE A BLESSED WEEK!
