Conditioned Thinking is Killing You....
Conditioned thinking can often hold us captive.
What is conditioned thinking? It is the process our brain goes through when it has been exercised repeatedly to think a certain way. Conditioned thinking is to our mind, like weight lifting is to our muscles or running is to a marathoner. With a marathon, you get the first mile into the race and your muscles take over, as they know what to do and how to do it. Our brain is the same way.
The signs we see every day are great examples of conditioned thinking. You will immediately know the color of a STOP sign. It may take some counting, but you’ll eventually get how many sides the sign has as well. For reference, the answers are Red and Eight. Now, what you choose to do when you approach a stop sign at an intersection is between you and your conscience.
On that same wavelength, how many sides does a YIELD sign have? If you say three, you are correct. What do you do when you approach one of these signs? The correct answer is to be cautious and look for other traffic. Now, what color is a yield sign?
In my experience, a large majority of the people I speak to will say yellow, and be honest what image did you have in your mind when you read that question? Whereas the most common Yield sign is red and white. We are conditioned to think a certain way about financial products as well. We are led to believe that the only way to grow rich in retirement is to put money at risk in the stock market. We are conditioned to believe that life insurance is only valuable while we are in our working years. We are conditioned to believe that the cheaper a life insurance policy is the better option. We are conditioned to believe that the only savings vehicle for retirement is the 401k.
That thought process is KILLING YOU.
What I would like you to see is that by keeping an open mind, questioning those things we have been conditioned to believe, and working with those that are thinking outside the conditioned financial box you can grow wealth outside the status quo. The possibilities are infinite.
