All right, everyone, welcome to today's Cabral concept. We're going to kick off the week with a brand, new topic, one that I've been looking forward to bringing you. And that is the power of saying no to many things in life that enables you to say yes to what you do want, as well as the power of having no opinion. Now, it may seem kind of strange to say, you know, sometimes you

just shouldn't have an opinion. What does that even mean? Well, the goal is this. The goal is

non-judgment. So we learn this from an early age, oftentimes from the religion

we're studying or just being a good person, not judging others. But truthfully in life, our human

brain is absolutely wired to judge. This is good or this is bad. And it does that from the

limbic part of the brain in order to keep us safe.

So bad means stay away, avoid, or be ready to confront, right? And good is, oh, I feel safe

and I can relax my nervous system, right? I don't have to be on guard all the time. So that

served us very well, and it still serves us well to today. Sometimes that spiky sense starts to tingle

and we say, you know what, something just doesn't feel right here. You should listen to that.

Like without a doubt, maybe there is something off. Maybe there's not. Maybe there's just pattern

recognition from something that happened in the past. But you absolutely do want to listen to

those animalistic based instincts. However, the problem is that we now

take in so much information from the environment more than we ever have before. Now, when I say

that, I want to take a little step back. We have always taken in information from our surroundings

and nature. But with nature,

we know what to expect, right, to almost 100% certainty. So people who lived on the land,

they lived outside, they felt they knew when a storm was coming. They knew when, like,

they got used to that nature. Nothing was overly wild. It was the humans, right, that they had to be storm was coming. They knew when, like, they got used to that nature.
