    There’s a lot to be said for motivation, skills and feedback.

    Great content. More than often, people are not aware of the power that lies within because motivation and attitude have to be internalised to make sense. Is it in tune with the life changing journey you want to embark on, or are you merely following the dictates of family, society and other peers?

    “Science of success experts have concluded that the brain is a goal-setting organism. No matter what goal you give to your unconscious mind, it will work day and night, 24/7, to achieve it for you; to make it a reality.”

    An amazing statement. I have not heard this before but I am interested as I have been caught so many times when I thought I was fully concentrating on one thing when a solution to a problem from a day or two ago suddenly popped up without my consciously thinking about it.

    Can you reccomend any links so that I can explore this further?

    Hi Pol,

    Thank you for your comment. You never know when your unconscious mind will bring to your conscious awareness the answer you have been working on. It could be at 3 in the morning or when having a shower.

    Always keep a pen and paper handy! Have you ever had the answer to a question or problem, not written it down and wish you had because you have forgotten that answer a while later?

    I suggest, for starters, read a book by Brian Tracy entitled Goals!

    Start there and let me know how you progress.

    Yes, it does come down to attitude, perhaps re-training of the brain. Alot of aspects come into it, ultimately it comes down to the individual… great article

    How true:

    Just finished reading ” The Magic Power of Your Mind” by
    Walter Germain.

    Whoever reading will laugh in disbelief – but pls lay your hands on it it to believe.

    A second hand first print bought in 1988 & read in 2009.

    It was the first book I read in one & half days.

    Beleive me -At Least.

    I love this post. It makes you realized just how limitless our power really is, but we learn limitation from the world around us.

    I find the greatest motivator is a loud friend who believes in you. One who yells at you at the wee hours of the morning to get things done. To hit the gym, to start that project, to get to work!

    There’s nothing like accountability.

    I have no idea where you come up with this ridiculous number. The average modern ‘thinker’ has 50,000 thoughts per day. This works out to 1,423,500,000 thoughts over a 78 year lifetime. Making up huge numbers out of the blue does not improve your reputation if you want people to believe you have a valid point.

    Hi Nicole,

    Yes, it does help greatly to have a friend, especially a loud one, who believes in you.

    That person can put you back on track very quickly I a sure when you get off it, and can reinstate and increase belief in yourself.

    Very handy to have around.

    Hi Folov,

    DSP connections are made when learning something new. Gage and Eriksson studied the number of connections made for every new thought or thing learned.

    A brain has 100 billion brain cells, each brain cell has 10,000 to 100,000 dendrite branches. Each dendrite has 100,000 to 1 million dendrite spines.

    You form connections when you learn something. As you learn, you create 1 million to 100 million new connections from EACH dendrite spine.

    They spent 2 years coming up with the number of new connections made. They theorised the number of new connections a brain has the capacity to add, during its lifetime, is the number mentioned.

    Thank you for the opportunity to share this information.

    hi,

    i am a student and i find these articles very much helpful. but theres some thing i wish to ask n hope its not a stupid question……i have heard that people go mad ( as in actually crazy) because they learn so much. can that like actually happen?

  • http://www.insight4you.com Hani

    Hi Akhila,

    The brain is designed to be a learning machine. Subscribe to this line of thought: C.A.N.I. Which is Constant And Never-ending Improvement.

    If it makes you feel more comfortable spreading your learning, do so. Perhaps read one self-help book every month or two. Listen to a self improvement CD every 6 months.

    Spread it in any way that makes you feel comfortable. But the secret to self-improvement is to consistently learn new things. Or even read the same things over and over until the ‘message’ sinks in.
