Your brain’s filter system (RAS) makes you notice what you focus on. Learn how visualization rewires perception to spot opportunities aligned with your goals that you’d otherwise miss.
The story
Ever notice how you suddenly see red Toyotas everywhere after deciding you want one? That’s your brain’s filter system at work.
In Chapter 6 of “The Journey,” Attila Horvath explains how visualization activates this filter – your Reticular Activation System – to spot opportunities aligned with your goals.
He explores Jung’s concept of becoming your authentic self instead of following others’ expectations. It’s about training your mind to see beyond societal pressure and limited thinking.
What I found fascinating: visualization isn’t just positive thinking – it’s rewiring your perception to notice opportunities you’d otherwise miss. Your brain filters millions of inputs daily, and this mental training determines what gets through.
Horvath offers practical steps that changed my approach:
– Question limiting beliefs
– View failures as growth opportunities
– Build habits that reshape subconscious patterns
Since applying these principles to my career goals, I’m noticing opportunities I would have missed before.
Have you tried visualization techniques? What changed in your perception afterward?
