The mind works in mysterious ways doesn’t it? 

When you start to study it, even on a very very basic or “layman’s” level you become absolutely amazed at the power it holds.  It really has 2 parts:

1.  The conscious mind — the thoughts actions and feelings that you are aware of, and

2.  The sub-conscious mind — thoughts actions and feelings that you need not be aware of.  These are just handled by your brain for you.

Are you aware that the conscious mind only handles around 2 - 4% of your daily activity, and your subconscious mind filters through and handles the other 96 - 98%?  This is an amazing thing when you really sit and consider it.  After all, your subconscious is where your knowledge base is — it is where you go to recall things that you know.  It is also where your beliefs are.  You never sense something and have to consciously figure out if you believe it or not — you either do or you don’t.

This is all accomplished in conjunction with your Reticular Activation System, which for lack of a better term is a filter.  It determines whether or not the thought you are having matches the belief stored in your mind.

So — what happens when you have a million dollar idea?  Does your “filter” take that idea and file it away under unbelievable because you believe you will never earn a million dollars?  For most people, that is exactly what happens.

For those of us that are real students of our own Personal Growth, we realize that true change is accomplished by changing our beliefs and how they are stored within our knowledge database.  Getting involved in a personal coaching program will empower you to learn exactly how to change your limiting beliefs.
