Your brain has a hidden filter that determines what you notice. Learn how to train it through visualization to spot opportunities that match your goals.
The story
Ever noticed how you suddenly see red cars everywhere when you’re thinking of buying one? That’s your brain’s filtering system at work, and it’s pretty wild how it shapes what we notice.
I’ve been reading Attila B. Horvath’s book, and Chapter 6 of “The Journey – I Wish I Knew This Before I Was 21” dives into this exact thing – how our minds selectively perceive the world around us.
What’s cool is how Horvath explains that we can actually train this system through visualization. Instead of just letting your brain filter randomly, you can direct it toward opportunities that align with your goals.
The chapter also explores becoming your authentic self rather than who others expect you to be. I appreciate how practical his approach is – he doesn’t just theorize but gives actionable steps to question beliefs you’ve picked up along the way.
My favorite part? Learning how visualization connects with your subconscious mind. Apparently, practices like visualization and setting intentions actually influence which patterns you notice in your environment.
If you’re feeling stuck in someone else’s expectations or looking for ways to stand out, this chapter offers practical tools for tapping into your subconscious potential and embracing your unique identity.
