An Entrepreneur’s Journey

Another interesting discussion and sharing session on the Money & You lesson.

Your Response

The sharing started with the question, “what creates your response?”

The answer is, or rather all of us agree that it’s the sub-conscious. The sub-conscious is program by our environment, our past experiences, what we see, hear, smell or touch. However, do we have some natural programming that is not from the environment?

Natural responses like, when we are hungry, we will look for food. When we need to procreate, we look for sex.

When does sub-conscious started to form? Someone shared that the subconscious started developing after the age of five. So does that mean before the age of five, our response is based on our true feeling?

Based on our past experiences, all of us had different programmings on our sub-conscious which resulted in different responses for different people in the same situation. That’s why we see different results when we played the games in the Money & You room.

The next question is, can the programming be changed? Some say no, some say yes. A better word we found will be “reload” or “reprogramming.”

One of the method of this reprogramming which Tony Robbins had practiced is to drive you to a traumatic experience or extreme pain.

We moved on to a bigger picture. The whole world is a big programming computer doing its work to program us. The advertisements that may lead us to perceive certain values on a particular brand. The religion that want us to behave in certain ways. These are programming tools that wants us to believe in what they are preaching.

A very interesting question popped up. “How do we know that we are not trapped by programming?”

Having the self confidence to stand firm, not easily swayed by opinions of others. You may want to start asking better questions too. Some see a situation and say, “I can’t.” Some say, “why not?”

A quote by George Bernard Shaw that may helped us not to be trapped by programming.

Some men see things as they are and ask why. Others dream things that never were and ask why not.

Are you absorbing everything that others say without thinking on your own? Are you being program by other? There is no right or wrong programming. The question is, does your programming serves you or not?
