A THOUGHT FOR END OF YEAR, SINCE "BABY" NEW YEAR IS ON THE CORNER :)
IMAGINE if we could delete all our old programming, everything we think and feel about everything we learnt throughout our lives and inherited as part of our truth and way of seeing the world, perceiving things and facts, not having the ability to judge or feel about culture, nationalities, people’s behaviours, etc?
WOW, what a relief in a way! On another view, what an amazing challenge to find out what we would be like, what we would choose instead in terms of food, clothes, profession, activities, people around us (and so on) in our lives!
Of course it’s kind of impossible (and scary to an extent) to do that, delete everything we learnt which causes good or bad influence in our life results. However if we could be more CONSCIOUS about it and understand that certain thoughts, feelings, auto-pilot behaviours and choices are the reason we could be stagnated in our lives (or going down), in whatever aspects of it, wouldn’t you give it a shot?
After reading “The Truth About Making Smart Decisions” by Robert E. Gunther and “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*uck” (still reading it) by Mark Hanson , then having completed the 7 weeks course “The Secrets of Inner Power” by Harv T. Eker, I started thinking consciously of certain feelings, thoughts, behaviours I promptly have when experiencing certain situations and people’s reactions around me and realizing I am in control of it, if I choose to do so and then react only if I really want to, which starts with a huge level of constant self-consciousness and high focus on wanting to change myself and the life around me as consequence, whichever aspects (love, health, wealth, relationships, career, etc) they may be.
Small changes can lead to huge results, and just by choosing to only give a f*ck to what really matters in life can change the whole life matter itself (please refer to the best seller Mark Manson's book mentioned above for more on that).
THE MESSAGE I'D LIKE TO SHARE HERE IS: We can only control what we can control, and this means only ourselves, not the life or people or fact, or anything around us. If artificial intelligence which depends on humans to program it, can make it so real to the level of developing to Humanoids, imagine what level we can reach if we can focus on RE-PROGRAMMING OUR OWN-SELVES with focus on revamping our old version to reach as consequence a permanent change in our entire life results for a so much better life, to say the least.?!
As for my own real life example, I want to work on my PATIENCE level and for now as a start I am observing as an spectator what makes me impatient and why. The next step (right after that) is to then start to control my reaction to the impatience, to reach a level where it will be replaced by TOLERANCE, leading me to a higher level of inner-self, to then reach an entire new version of my life results and self.
How about you, what would you like to immediately change in your programming to change yourself? What would you recommend to anyone wanting to revamp their life results?

5 年Very interesting article, Isabelita. Infact, in Indian philosophy this re-engineering method has been detailed out almost 20000 years back. Someday hope to engage in the discussion, if you find it interesting. As a student of cognitive psychology human mind is an inner calling for me. Will go through your other articles. Thank you for accepting my invite to connect. Hope to enrich myself by reading your articles.

5 年Very exciting thought indeed. And very humbling... The idea that we are programmed, and the extent of it, conflicts with another idea, praised since our childhood, that we are critical thinkers. With a free mind. Well, so how should we reconcile the two? I believe your article shows us the way Isabelita : by being aware of our own programming, challenging our perceptions of the world accordingly, and taking small steps in re-adjusting them. The good news is that consciousness is already half the victory. Your first ambition is to work on your patience and your tolerance. This is indeed essential and we wish you all the very best in this exciting and rewarding journey. You asked how we will look at it? My angle is WELCOMING. Welcoming every day, every moment with love and joy and a child’s heart. Welcoming the unknown as a friend, for encounters are the salt of dull days. Welcoming difficulties with a smile, for they are the source of new ideas, opportunities to grow. Welcoming our own weaknesses with kindness, for every time we raise again is like a new opportunity.

5 年Isabelita, I like what you shared! From my self development journey, I realized that consciousness is extremely important to understand myself and decide what to change, keep or upgrade, & to be peaceful & focused in tough times. Also I realized that emotions are not us, so when a negative emotion shows up, I know that it is a sign guiding me toward a change or an area of development.

5 年Hi Really exciting thoughts. From my point of view I would like us to reset all we learnt about learning, memory and how to ”Reach out”. It makes me a little bit sad to see how ”old-school” not only most education is done. But also how things are presented by politicians, CEOs, public speakers etc etc Too BORING, too LONG, too UNINTERESTING... Why? Well I dont know - but I think I have a clue how we can change it ?? @isabelitacastilho

5 年Hi Isabellita, Like your taughts just to add few words from my end, If we delete or make facrory reset on our selfs.The character is still yours as we are born with it and this thing can not be reseted so after some time we will became the same person with same values. So no matter how many times we will be reseting our self's.Always at the end of the day we will become same persons. Lets work on our values to build up our good personalities.
