Wearing Steve Jobs' Glasses
What causes people to make mistakes isn't pressure, but the wrong focus. If you're not getting successful results, perhaps you're focusing on the wrong thing. Focusing on the right thing It enables you to speak the right words, go to the right place, make the right investment, and even find the right person. If you're spinning a drumstick and you panic, focusing on your finger movements, avoiding mistakes, and not dropping it, you're bound to drop it. But if you close your eyes and imagine it spinning and spinning, you'll see that you do it much better.
As in the pink elephant example, when you tell your mind "don't think about something," it is forced to constantly check for that thing. This causes the unwanted thought to come to mind more frequently. So, when you say "I mustn't fall," your mind constantly scans the background for the possibility of "falling." This impairs performance and makes mistakes more likely. The mind focuses on the "action of falling" in the phrase "I mustn't fall.". And eventually you will fall.. Our brain processes positive and goal-oriented commands much more clearly. This is because the nervous system codes "the action to be done," not "the action not to be done." Therefore, "don't fall" is not a command, but "stay on your feet" is a clear action.
Successful athletes don't train the day before a competition. They constantly immerse themselves in that finish line, in winning and on the podium. They dream. They step onto the mat having already won a million times in their minds even before the match begins.
As motorcyclists say, Wherever you look, that's where you go.. If you look to the right, you'll notice the engine pulling to the right; if you look to the left, you'll notice it pulling to the left. If you look where you want to go, you'll find yourself there.
Our brain marks what we focus on as "important" among millions of stimuli, and gathers data related to that thing from the environment. we start to see more. When you're slalom skiing through the trees and your focus is on avoiding collisions, you'll see more trees. The trees grow bigger and bigger, and the inevitable happens. That's why when we focus on something, it seems to have more of a place in our lives. What is actually increasing is not reality, but our perception. But if you focus on the path rather than the trees, you'll notice the trees getting smaller and sparser, while the path grows longer and wider.
The mind has limited capacity; when focused on the wrong thing, it will not perform the right action. There will be no resources left. Steve Jobs didn't create technology, he created focus. He focused on what people would like, not what they wouldn't want. That's why he focused on things nobody had yet seen, not problems everyone else had. solutions and dreams He looked. “He knew what the problem was. But he focused not on the problem, but on the world he wanted to see.”
In conclusion, success in many areas of life is less about the intensity of effort and more about the direction of focus. One step in the wrong direction is costly, while a thousand steps in the right direction are economical. Therefore, the right focus leads you to success. Because the mind focuses not on what you want, but on what you concentrate on. considers it important. And without realizing it, you attract him/her into your life...
