The Human Mind
Businesses are built by people for people.
Understanding how we take in information,
how we make decisions, and how we decide
what to do or what not to do is critically important
if you want to create and sustain a successful business venture.
Interpretation and Reinterpretation
“We don’t see things as they are. We see things as we are.” — Anaïs Nin, author and diarist
Key Ideas:
- When there’s not enough information to develop an accurate Pattern, the human brain relies on prior information and patterns to make Interpretations and fill the gaps.
- These snap Interpretations can be altered via Reinterpretations.
- You can change your beliefs and mental simulation consciously by recalling and reinterpreting past events.
- Reinterpretation is possible because our memory is impermanent. Every time we recall something, the new memory will include any changes we’ve made to it.
- Reinterpret your past and you’ll improve your ability to make great things happen.
Questions for Consideration:
- Do you have any old beliefs or patterns that make you afraid or hesitant to try new things?
- Are there other ways to interpret past memories that are associated with those beliefs that may serve you better?
