We continue our Dadly Daily Declaration series with readings from Unfu*k Yourself by Gary John Bishop. Today’s reading focuses on the personal assertion “I Am Wired to Win.”
So, let’s dive into today’s reading from chapter 3, “I Am Wired to Win”. We’re going to divide this chapter into two parts due to the sheer volume of gems and notes. Here are a few gems from today’s reading:
- The truth is, you are winning at the life you have.
- Even is you don’t want this life, this life is the one you’re currently winning at.
- Look at your own dark spots, the parts of your life where you ar most ineffective, where it seems like you have lost or are currently losing.
- Our thoughts are so powerful that they are constantly pushing you toward your goals, even when you don’t realize what those goals actually are! Your brain is wired to win.
- This doesn’t just apply to your relationships. This dynamic is at play in your career, your fitness, your finances, and everything else you do. You are hardwired to win. You’re always winning because your brain is wired to. The trouble comes when what you really want–on a subconscious level–and what you say you want are different, sometimes radically so.
- Dr. Bruce Lipton found that 95 percent of what we do in our day-to-day life is controlled by our subconscious. That means that only a tiny fraction of all the things you say or do are with a true sense of volition.
- For the most part, we are basically on autopilot, mindlessly gouging our way through life’s predictable, muddy field.
- The path you follow through life is the one dictated by your deepest, most inconspicuous thoughts. Your brain is constantly pushing you along that path, whether it’s the one you would consciously choose to take or not.
- You automatically relate to yourself as belonging to a certain economic class, with a certain level of fitness, and your actions serve to keep you in place, right where you’re most familiar to yourself.
- We win in domains or worlds. Let’s say you make $30,000 per year. That’s a domain. All of the planning, strategy, and thinking you do to make that money constitute that domain.
- Believe it or not, it’s not necessarily any harder to make $60K than it is $30K. It really is a question of getting yourself into another domain. First, uncover and realize the ways in which you have limited yourself. The kind of “absolutes” that your are currently unaware of, the conclusions that you have come to about yourself, others and life itself. Those conclusions are the limit of your potential.
- It’s when you have broken through those conclusions and can experience life outside of your current existence that you start to understand the power of this phenomenon.
- This view can open you up to whole other worlds of accomplishment.
Those gems lead us to today’s Dadly Daily Declaration:
You’re winning in whichever domain you are playing in. You’re wired to win in that domain. What it takes to move out of that domain requires significant changes to your automatic.
