Train Your Brain To Spot Hidden Opportunities

Published 2025-11-09 07-57

Summary

Your brain filters millions of bits of info every second, but you only notice a fraction. Learn to train your Reticular Activating System to spot opportunities.

The story

Before: I used to think my brain was working against me. Every morning felt like swimming upstream – distractions everywhere, goals feeling impossible, opportunities slipping by unnoticed.

After: Now I understand my brain has a built-in success system. It’s called the Reticular Activating System, and once I learned to work with it, everything changed.

Your brain processes millions of bits of information every second, but you’re only conscious of a tiny fraction. The RAS decides what gets through – and you can train it.

When I started visualizing my goals clearly and consistently, my brain began filtering reality differently. Suddenly I noticed opportunities, connections, and resources that were always there but invisible before.

It’s like buying a red car and then seeing red cars everywhere. They didn’t multiply – you just started noticing them.

The key is being specific about what you want and feeding your RAS clear, vivid images daily. Your subconscious mind doesn’t know the difference between what’s real and what’s vividly imagined.

This isn’t wishful thinking – it’s neuroscience. Chapter 6 of “The Journey – I wish I knew this before I was 21” breaks down exactly how to reprogram your mental filters for success.

Stop fighting your brain. Start training it instead.
