Learned how visualization trains our brains to notice opportunities through the Reticular Activation System. Now I see my uniqueness as an asset instead of just being another professional climbing the ladder.
The story
I used to think visualization was total woo-woo nonsense until I read Chapter 6 of Attila B. Horvath’s “The Journey – I Wish I Knew This Before I Was 21.”
What clicked for me was learning about our Reticular Activation System – this mental filter that decides what we notice. By visualizing specific goals, we’re basically training our brain to spot opportunities we’d otherwise miss.
Before: I felt like just another generic professional trying to climb the ladder
After: I understand how my uniqueness is actually my greatest asset
The game-changer? Realizing my subconscious mind can work 24/7 on my goals when I direct it properly. Visualization isn’t magic – it’s the bridge connecting my conscious ambitions to my subconscious capabilities.
Horvath doesn’t just philosophize – he gives practical guidance on self-education beyond traditional schooling and reframing setbacks as feedback, not failure.
If you’re feeling stuck or sensing untapped potential within yourself, Chapter 6 provides both the “why” and “how” of breaking through. The path to genuine individuality isn’t easy, but as Horvath shows, it’s the only route to real fulfillment.
