Is it your subconscious or destiny?

‍

Is it your subconscious or destiny?

‍

Why are you here?

‍

How did you make it here?

‍

Is it because of your brain?

‍

Your upbringing?

‍

Your childhood?

‍

Your life experiences?

‍

Or is it because of destiny?

‍

Because of fate?

‍

Because of some spiritual divine being that has got you here?

‍

Could be either.

‍

Could be neither.

‍

I have no clue.

‍

Finished a book on the subconscious today called ‘Power of the Genie Within.’

‍

It’s probably the 5th or 6th book I’ve read on the subject.

‍

It’s fascinating.

‍

It’s mind-blowing.

‍

It’s crazy to think how much of your life is dictated by this thing in your mind.

‍

Your subconscious.

‍

It feels unexplainable.

‍

And yet dictates everything.

‍

How you act.

‍

How you think.

‍

How you move through the world.

‍

Your self-talk.

‍

Your perception of reality.

‍

In the background dictating where your life goes.

‍

Originally I thought this idea about the subconscious was bullshit.

‍

Felt like some ‘shi-shi woo woo’ crap that mystics or weird people believed.

‍

And yet, it’s true.

‍

Freud and his colleagues in the 20th century explained it.

‍

Napoleon Hill did through Think and Grow Rich.

‍

Even the Secret did that in the early 2000s.

‍

Why is it that the brain can see and act on things before they happen?

‍

Why does visualization work?

‍

Why does goal setting and convincing your subconscious work?

‍

I didn’t believe it.

‍

It felt like bullshit.

‍

Till I followed the rules in Think and Grow Rich.

‍

Have a concrete goal.

‍

Write it down.

‍

Repeat it to yourself multiple times a day.

‍

Don’t overthink it.

‍

Be patient.

‍

Stay positive.

‍

Say it with emotion and conviction.

‍

And watch your brain work.

‍

Boy has it worked it’s magic.

‍

Remember, your subconscious doesn’t know what’s real and fake.

‍

If you make it believe what you want, it’ll show you the way.

‍

I can’t explain it and yet it works.

‍

When I wrote down my goal in 2018, I didn’t believe it.

It felt too out there.

‍

Too crazy.

‍

Too insane.

‍

Yet once Covid happened, a light bulb went off.

‍

Here’s how I do it.

‍

Here’s how I get there.

‍

Here’s how I build the life I want.

‍

Media.

‍

Build an educational media company.

‍

Teach the world.

‍

Explain how you see things and where you get your information from.

‍

Teach the world what they don’t know.

Do it for free and create a business around it.

‍

Provide value to people they didn’t know they needed.

‍

I’ve been working on that dream consciously for years.

‍

But subconsciously, the work I did in 2018 worked.

‍

I’m not here without it.

‍

I don’t have all these ideas and worked for where I am if I didn’t write it down.

‍

If I didn’t train my subconscious.

‍

If I didn’t repeat my goal to myself every day.

‍

Is that fate?

‍

Is that destiny?

‍

Was I supposed to do that?

‍

I don’t know.

‍

I found Think and Grow Rich from a chance meeting in a hotel lobby in Costa Rica.

‍

Didn’t touch it for over a year.

‍

Re-discovered it as I was beginning a new chapter of my life in Amsterdam as a healthcare investor after graduating from medicine in Scotland.

‍

The timing was perfect.

‍

But why?

‍

How?

‍

Sometimes there’s no answer.

‍

The world can’t be explained by it.

‍

And yet we want an answer.

‍

We want everything to make sense.

‍

We want to know ‘how did I get here?’

‍

Is it your subconscious or destiny?
