“Love the art in yourself, not yourself in the art” (Konstantin Stanislavsky).
Your "neural thermostat" is set between the ages of 3 and 7. Your "neural thermostat" is your temperature for success. Our experience of different parts of life between those years set our mind on what we think about them today. For example; our attitude on relationship success is set, and this attitude will effect how successful we are in relationships in our life. We know our formative years are very influential. There are 15 "pride obstacles", one of which is mind reading. We put ourselves down by trying to read minds, when we cannot truthfully know what people are thinking unless we ask. Our conceptions on what they are thinking are based off of stories or experiences from our childhood, they stay with us, and "mess with our heads" when we are adults.
Core beliefs:
- self worth
- alone, not connected
- powerless
- inadequate
- unsafe
- feel trapped
- feeling out of control
- incomplete
- anxiety
- unloveable
- imperfect
- self sabotage
These "core beliefs" are constantly circling us and we pay so much attention to them that we miss the "guerillas of opportunity." Like a giant ice berg, sometimes it is the issues that we do not see that are our biggest obstacles and what are actually in our way of getting to where we want to be. Our core beliefs make us afraid of what will happen when we do have success, we convince ourselves that there will be negative effects when we become successful. For example; "if I lost weight, I wouldn't have female friends." And in turn we avoid success. Our mind gets in our way. The mind is about wanting control, but if you could let go and find the power of no mind, maybe you could find success waiting there for you.
