So it creates some kind of filter.

Agree?

Yes.

Yeah, and it also shapes things like our motivation.

So this is going to get a bit technical for a second, but that's okay.

But we get motivated based on an action success calculation.

So what our brain does is it looks at what the possibilities are.

And if the possibility of success is high, it will be motivated towards it.

We'll be more motivated if we believe there's a high possibility to succeed.

There will be more motivated.

This is why if we sort of think about, if I tell you, oh, hey, can you get me a glass of water?

That's easy for you to do because you can do that.

You believe you can do that.

You believe you can succeed.

It's such a simple task.

And we don't even think about motivation for getting someone a glass of water because our perception that we can do it is like 100%.

So we automatically do it.

We don't even perceive that we're motivated, but it's easy to do.

Now, if I don't believe I can do something, and I can guarantee you that just about every human being who's watching this has something that they're capable of doing, but they don't believe that they can do it.

And think about all the things in your life that you can have done that you did not think that you were capable of.
