Our mind patterns have been built to benefit our survival. To thrive we need to be able overcome those patterns.
Our mind patterns and instinctive reactions are immensely useful – they allow us to react instantly to threats, and generally stick to proven survival reactions in our day-to-day life.
At the same time, they imprison and limit us in considering new situations, or finding new ways to look at common situations. We need to be able to overcome those patterns to thrive.
This is of course dangerous and better done in a situation where we are somewhat protected, and possibly not all the time.
The dilemma is, those mind patterns need to be overcome to find new value, and we still need them to cover our survival most of the time. The capability to thrive in this dilemma is the mark of the innovator.
Break your patterns consciously sometime and reap the value. When do you start?
