We human beings like to think that we are very logical, but the truth is we are emotional creatures and we justify our emotions with logic.

For the vast majority of the world, this means that they are unknowingly hypnotized to believe things that hold them back.

But you can actually use this fact consciously in order

to rewire yourself to see opportunity and to make more money. I am fascinated with confirmation

bias. Confirmation bias is that we see what we believe. If we believe something, we tend to go out

and find more evidence of it. We see this in pretty much every culture and every belief

system. I was raised as a Baptist Christian that believed that the Bible was the inerrant source

of truth. And when you have that belief, you go out into the world and you interpret the world

through that belief. And everything that happens in the media, everything that happens in society,

everything that happens in your neighborhood is a reflection of that belief and amplifies what you

vaccine was poison that killed a bunch of people, you probably see every death on the news

as evidence that you were correct. If you believe that Democrats are evil, everything that you see

on Fox News, you will take at face value. If you believe that President Trump is racist, you will

see everything that he does as some sort of racist dog whistle.

All of us are subject to this because it's how the brain works.

And when you know that your brain is actually interpreting a story,

you can interrupt it and start to change the story that it sees

so that you can wire yourself to see and act out what you want to be true. Most people believe

that they go through life, collecting data and learning more and getting wiser and smarter and

coming to better and better conclusions as they go. But because of confirmation
