To stand a chance at becoming his ideal, a man needs to first eradicate the conditioning and learned ailments that society and himself have imposed. Sort of a hard reset on life, from which true potential can begin to grow through a sincere desire to be great.
So you think basically formatting your brain is possible in that sense?
Rewiring is 100% possible (with some people)
I wouldn’t say formatting but rather unlearning and learning. And yes we can change our thoughts and behavioral pattern over time. It takes time, discipline and efforts but it’s possible.
How would one approach that? 🤔
Read about behavioral patterns and how to train your mind generally, it’s a very interesting topic. But basically you have to constantly stop your mind when thinking of something you want to avoid and train it to be present and practice positive behaviors or even think of nothing at all 🧘🏻♀️. The more you repeat & practice the more it becomes a part of your personality. 🤍
Less formatting and rewiring and more like resetting to factory settings, or letting go of the meaning/identity you attribute to yourself.
It’s not a framework within which to think, or something to work towards. It is just like dropping all of the self prescribed ailments you have and not allowing those self limiting beliefs to prevent you from blossoming into what you could be.
Almost everyone does this, refers to their negative tendencies as if they’re set in stone e.g. I’m a worrier, overthinker, emotional person, loser etc.
I don’t remember which film it was, but did you ever see that opening to a Bruce Lee film where he’s talking to a young student “It's like a finger pointing away to the moon. Do not concentrate on the finger or you will miss all of the heavenly glory!”
