I used to play a game called iAssociate. It was a complex version of hangman. When you guessed the word it opened up a whole new bracket of words that were associated it.
In the picture below you can see what I’m talking about. All of the white rectangles that are shooting off of “Breakfast”, show up after you guess the word “Breakfast” which you would have guessed because it is connected to “Lunch” and “Dinner”
This game is a great visual of how our belief systems work.
Unlocking a new or old belief system can open up a whole bunch of new paths to travel on.
Your belief system is what pushes you forward, or what holds you back. It can literally be the things that makes or breaks you.
Who knew?
When you immerse yourself in learning, you come under the umbrella of someone else’s belief system – and it gives you a chance to question yours.
Since belief systems are what you are using to make choices, take risks, deny opportunities, and interact with life – its a pretty big deal.
We have to be willing to push through them when we come up against them. That can be a little bit uncomfortable because our brain has to re-wire itself in order to do so.
But if you seek them out, and understand how they work, it is worth the temporary discomfort – because it opens up a whole new world… one that is definitely worth seeing
