(From the book, The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson)
Your conscious can focus really well, but only on a tiny, minuscule part of your life at any one time. Your subconscious keeps track of everything.
The sobering fact is, we all do 99.99 percent of our lives on automatic pilot.
In other words, in the same way you take a walk and end up at home without even thinking about it, that’s how most people end up in the life they’re living at age thirty, or fifty, or seventy. “How did I get here?!”
On automatic pilot.
What determines where you end up? It’s all a question of what route you have programmed into your subconscious. And that’s something they you can let others program for you (your school, parents, teachers, friends, TV, etc.) – or you can choose to program it yourself.
It’s up to you.
So, how do you program that life route? How do you determine the choices and decisions that your subconscious makes for you in carving out your life path?
The same way you learned to tie your shoes: you create it first with intention, with your conscious mind, and then repeat it over and over, in slight edge fashion until is is handed off to your subconscious – at which point those three magic words kick in:
It becomes automatic.
