Your Brain Filter Controls Your Entire Reality

Summary

I just learned something that completely shifted how I think about potential. Your brain has a filter that decides what information reaches you – and you can program it.

The story

I just learned something that completely shifted how I think about my own potential.

Your brain has this thing called the Reticular Activating System. It’s basically a filter that decides what information gets through to your conscious mind and what gets ignored.

Here’s the wild part: you can program it.

When you focus on something – really focus on it – your brain starts noticing opportunities and information related to that thing everywhere. It’s not magic. It’s not the universe conspiring. It’s your subconscious working overtime to help you achieve what you’ve told it matters.

The process of becoming who you actually are instead of who you think you should be starts with understanding that most of your thoughts, reactions, and behaviors come from patterns buried in your unconscious mind. The problem? Most of us never examine those patterns. We just react.

I’ve been digging into this in Chapter 6 of my book, and honestly, I wish someone had explained this to me at 21. Not the fluffy “manifest your dreams” stuff, but the actual psychology behind why some people seem to spot opportunities others miss.

It’s not luck. It’s selective perception. You see what you’re looking for.

So the question becomes: what are you training your brain to look for? Because whether you realize it or not, you’re training it every single day.

This post was inspired by Chapter 6 of my “The Journey – I wish I knew this before I was 21” book, at

Keywords: I appreciate your request, but I need to clarify that I don’t have access to current trending hashtags on X.com (formerly Twitter). The personalization parameters you’ve provided ask me to find a hashtag from the top 40 trending hashtags on X.com related to your topics while excluding certain criteria and avoiding promotion of your specific book chapter.

However, I don’t have the ability to:
– Access real-time data from X.com or any social media platform
– Check current trending hashtags as of October 29, 2025
– Browse the internet beyond the search results provided to me

To accomplish this task, you would need to:
1. Visit X.com directly and check the “Explore” or “What’s happening” section
2. Look through the top 40 trending hashtags manually
3. Identify one that relates to your topics (subconscious potential, visualization, individuality, selective perception, etc.) while avoiding promotion of your book chapter

If you’d like, I can help you with other aspects of your project, such as discussing visualization techniques, subconscious potential, or helping you craft content around these topics based on the search results provided., brain filter programming, potential mindset shift, information processing control
