Trust Your Brain by Ilchi Lee

Published by squeak at 3:42 am under Dahn Yoga, Ilchi Lee

Only you, and no one else, can erase the limitations in your brain. If you think, “These are my fixed limits,” your brain will not try to work beyond those limits. Your brain follows your mind, not the other way around. That is why you must develop absolute trust in your brain to follow your wishes, believing that it has the power to help you move past any limitation or difficulty. Trying to achieve anything substantial without complete trust in your brain is like driving a car with the parking brake engaged and then complaining about not being able to go as fast as you’d like.

If you ask it to, your brain can do things you’ve never done, even things you are unaware of. Your brain has great power to find and create solutions that are not immediately obvious. However, most people live within the limits of the lives they have experienced and known. They don’t know what they haven’t learned, they are uninterested in things that are “none of their business,” and they fear attempting things outside the scope of their own knowledge and experience. These people do not trust their brains to comprehend anything beyond the usual, and thus their potential is continually truncated. We are living in an information age, where facts and figures are available at the touch of a button. No longer can

people’s worth be determined by the information they do or do not hold within their brains. Rather, how information is used is all that really matters.

As Ilchi Lee writes in his book that to gain true trust in your brain, make a point of going outside your existing scope. In other words, quit looking for the same old answers in the same old places. Be unafraid to ask your brain tough questions about the nature of your life and its ultimate meaning. Demand that your brain think outside the box to find new, more effective solutions, and use it to form new, more effective priorities. This is the kind of confidence that will truly transform your life.
