Once again, 512-580-9305. Today, we're gonna talk about how to think more clearly than how your brain is actually lying to you. You know, we like to think and we like to believe that we see the world clearly, that our choices are rational and that we are making decisions from a rational place that is clearly thought out. And it's weighed out based off of facts and we choose them wisely.
But most of the time, that's not even close to true. A lot of times, your brain is lying to you, your perception is lying to you, and you're making a quick decision based off of every event that's ever happened to you in your life. What we actually see when we see the world
is a filtered version of the world through our past experiences, through our beliefs, through our fears, and through our desires. And I want you to understand this. Your perception is not reality. It is your version of reality. That might be hard for some people to understand, but your perception is not absolute reality. It is your version of reality. So our perception isn't reality.
It's a filter that distorts reality based off of what's happened to us in the past, based off of our past history, based off of fears and limiting beliefs and traumas. based off of what you learned as a child, what you were taught by your parents was right and wrong, what you saw them do, what you saw them not do.
And if we don't learn to see through this distortion, it's going to hold us back from making the right decisions. And we're going to continue to make bad decisions over and over and over again. And we might mistake emotion for logic. We might mistake personal beliefs for truth. We might mistake our own assumptions for facts.
And this is where thinking clearly and having really good judgment comes in. Judgment doesn't sound like the sexiest topic to talk about, but it really is important because judgment is not just intelligence. It's not just reading books and having book smarts. It's the keen ability to see what is actually in front of you.
Not just what you hope is there, but it's the ability to see clearly and the ability to challenge yourself to see things as they are, not as you want them to be or as you want to see them. And the key word is to challenge. and challenge yourself, challenge your own perception to see is this absolute truth or is this just what I think happened? Or is this what I think is going on?
If you develop this skillset of judgment and of clear thinking, your life will be so much easier. And so the question comes from this, like how do we train ourself to see the world clearly? It's kind of a weird question, right? How do I train myself to see clearly? I thought I was. seeing the world pretty clearly.
