Lewis Hamilton uses this method of achievement
2. You Create Your Reality
The thing always happens that you really believe in; and the belief in a thing makes it happen - Frank Lloyd Wright
Swift mental agility is the key to changing your reality. In this section I give you the absolute key to your success. The ability to challenge your beliefs is the only method of performance improvement. When you appreciate the power of beliefs and how they interplay with your behaviour you will understand that you choose your experience. And so in order to choose a different experience you must first challenge your beliefs.

2a) Understand How You Create Your Reality
'We see a raven, they see a rainbow.' - 'Colour is not an inherent property of an object. It is the product of the brain of the animal perceiving it.' - Andy Bennett, Behaviour Ecology Group Bristol University.
Reality, the world we see around us is a function of our perception. To us a raven appears black, but that does not mean a raven is actually black. What we perceive is a function of what we believe, our mindset, thoughts we have and the internal dialogue that we create. Yes, I know you talk to yourself, and so do I, and so does Lewis Hamilton. The question is can you appreciate that your internal language programmes your brain, structures your behaviour and therefore determines your level of achievement.
-
What we see is what we perceive we see...
-
What we perceive is created by what we think...
-
When we challenge, provoke and change what we think...
-
We change what we perceive in our mind and so change our external reality accordingly.
An example of this at work can be illustrated by a true story about a famous golfer, I am not at liberty to say who he is but you will guess, his initials are SB. The story was and still is recited by SB's then coach. The story demonstrates how 'what you think you actualise.' Even when it is not what you want. |
