the human brain cannot comprehend the
negative it is incapable okay the human
brain cannot comprehend the negative you
ready don't think of an
elephant a and so what happens is we
very often reinforce things when we put
things in the negative right I can't get
apart I can't do this versus I'm going
to keep doing this it's such a huge
thing to to convert things into the
affirmative you supposed to do it with
children as well we're supposed to say
instead of saying to children don't eat
on the couch we're supposed to say eat
at the
table Pilots know this right it is well
known in the pilot community that when
you tell a pilot don't hit the obstacle
they'll hit the obstacle because what
they're doing is focusing on the
obstacle skiers know this if you go
through trees on skis and you go don't
hit a tree don't hit a tree don't hit a
tree guess what you're watching you're
only looking at
trees all you're doing is seeing trees
you don't understand how anyone can ski
with all these
trees right as opposed to follow the
snow follow the path follow the path the
only thing you see is the path skiers
know this if you focus on the obstacles
all you will see as obstacles if you
focus on the path through the trees all
you will see is path through the
trees it's your choice how you choose to
perceive your own career it's literally perspective
