Your brain filters out most of what’s around you – including opportunities and solutions. But you can reprogram this filter to notice what actually matters for your goals.
The story
Ever wonder why you suddenly see red cars everywhere once you decide you want one?
Your brain isn’t magic – it’s just incredibly selective. Right now, you’re processing tons of information through your senses. But your conscious mind? It only handles a tiny fraction.
That means you’re missing most of what’s actually happening around you.
Phase 5 of Attila B. Horvath’s “The Journey” breaks down exactly how this works – and more importantly, how to use it. Your Reticular Activating System is basically your brain’s bouncer, deciding what gets your attention and what gets ignored. Most opportunities, solutions, and insights pass right by you because your RAS isn’t tuned to notice them.
But here’s the game-changer: you can reprogram it.
When you visualize something specific and emotionally charged – not just daydream, but really see it and feel it – you’re training your brain’s filter to highlight the people, resources, and chances that actually matter.
Horvath explores individuation – the process of becoming your true self instead of who everyone expects you to be. Your subconscious wants to build your unique path, not copy someone else’s highlight reel.
The bottom line? What you focus on and believe literally changes what you notice and act on. Change your filter, change your life.
Your journey can’t be anyone else’s – and that’s exactly the point.
