Summary

Your brain filters out most opportunities around you – but you can reprogram this system. Learn how “lucky” people train their minds to spot what others miss completely.

The story

Ever wonder why some people seem to stumble into amazing opportunities while others miss them completely?

There’s a mind-bending neurological truth that explains everything.

Your brain processes massive amounts of information every second from all your senses. But here’s the kicker – your conscious mind can only handle a tiny fraction of this incoming data.

That means you’re missing most of what’s happening around you.

Your brain has something called the Reticular Activating System – basically a sophisticated filter that decides what you notice and what gets ignored. Most people never program it intentionally, so they filter for problems, limitations, and excuses.

But when you combine strategic visualization with intentional programming, something incredible happens. You start training your filtering system to spot opportunities aligned with your authentic goals.

This isn’t wishful thinking. It’s neuroscience.

The people who seem “lucky”? They’ve accidentally programmed their filters correctly. They notice resources, connections, and openings that were always there but invisible to everyone else. Think of how you suddenly start seeing a particular car model everywhere after considering purchasing it – that’s your RAS at work.

Your unique perspective becomes your competitive advantage when you stop copying others and start developing your authentic filter system.

Attila B. Horvath breaks down exactly how to deliberately program your RAS in Chapter 6 of “The Journey – I wish I knew this before I was 21.” The techniques he shares can literally change what you see in the world around you.
