Do You Underestimate
Your Instincts?
Most of us overestimate the power of
our conscious minds.
Not only that, but we underestimate
the power of our instincts.
This isn't easy for a lot people to hear,
but it can be very useful to
understand.
For example, if you've ever "cheated"
on a diet, you know EXACTLY how
powerful your instincts are.
After all they have been part of us for
millions of years, and they deal with
real world survival on a very real level.
When our instincts are telling us to
eat, "they" really believe we are in
danger if we don't.
Which is why dieting by willpower
alone is virtually impossible.
Fear of heights is another example.
This is a natural born fear that exists
deep in our programming.
Try leaning over the edge of a high
balcony and using your conscious mind
to remove the fear.
These are a couple of instincts (fear
and food) that we know and feel.
Others are much more hidden beneath
the surface.
Think about the last time you
"cheated" on a diet, or promised
yourself you weren't going to eat or
drink something, but you did anyway.
Just before you ate it, you likely told
yourself some "story" that sounded
"logical" at the time.
But since you saw clear evidence of
what you were doing, it's easy to see
this was just a rationalization.
But when we rationalize other instincts
that we don't acknowledge, we really
tend to believe the rationalization as if
it's the real reason driving our
behavior, and not the underlying
instinct.
Which can get us into a lot of trouble.
We end up saying, "Well, it sounded
like a good idea at the time."
What this really means is our instincts
were driving our behavior, and our
rationalizations for that behavior
seemed logical enough.
Because we are deeply social
creatures, two of the most powerful
instincts that tend to operate outside
of our conscious awareness are social
proof and authority.
People that are in positions of
authority can say the craziest things,
and people will believe them as if
they're self-evident logic.
The strange thing about authority is
that it's not something that can be
given to you.
It has to be something that you simply
assume to be true.
And since 99.99% of the people would
be TERRIFIED of taking any kind of
leadership role, assuming that position
is pretty easy.
Naturally, this is like any other tool.
You can use it for good, or you can use
it for evil.
You can lead people to happiness,
pleasure and wealth, or doom and
despair.
It's completely up to you.
Where will you lead them?
