And uh it wasn't luck at all. matched

They just set their filters and and there it was. matched

Reticular activation is a big word. matched

I I saw that in some uh uh in a corporate training program once. matched

And it's just the idea that you um you're familiar with the uh the fact that if somebody calls your name in a crowded room you can hear it easily, even if there's a lot of background noise. matched

So if you're in a crowded room you'll hear Scott and you'll be like, What the heck? matched

Why why is the one word that I matched

I could hear clearly in that that mumbling was my own name. matched

And that's that's because your brain tunes for things that are important to you. matched

So if you use affirmations, you're really tuning into a specific objective. matched

In my case in cartooning, I noticed something on television one day that led me down a trail to find a cartoonist who gave me the advice that turned me into a cartoonist. matched

So I actually had to notice something. matched

That maybe would I I wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't been doing affirmations at the time. matched

Here's another possibility and a strong one. matched

That you're not really causing something to happen. matched

But rather you're finding out the hard way what things you're committed to. matched

And and you're probably committed to things that on some subconscious level you think you can do. matched

You think you can pull it off. matched

So I think that we have this situation, and this is just a hypothesis, that you might have a rational thought about what you can pull off in life, and how well you can do, but you matched

also have an irrational opinion of yourself, and the two of them are just always there. matched
