You’re Not Insane - But You’re Doing This Wrong

Most people think that insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.
That’s actually not insanity - that’s tenacity.
When you try again and again and expect different results, expect improvements, you actually have tenacity.
Insanity is attention stuck in the past.
When your attention is stuck in the past, you cannot actually see what's in front of you.
Think about it: You can drive from home to work and don't see anything around you...
You don't remember almost anything...
Maybe 1% you remember.
Why? Because most of the time, most of your attention is stuck in the past.
When your attention is stuck in the past, you are not in the present. And when you are not in the present, you are extremely limited.
What limits you?
What you put your attention on! If you put your attention on the past, your past will tell you what you cannot do. If you put your attention on present time, you'll see that in present time you can bring anything about. Present time is the moment in which you can create from. The past is all the things that happened, that passed, that do not apply to present time. For example, you'll see that when a person is extremely powerful, he can use his past without his past affecting him. You really need to get that. He can use his past without his past affecting him.
He can fix the computer because he knows things about computers, but without this becoming a limitation. It almost never happens.
If you have a person that can use his past without his past affecting him, you have a giant. You have someone that is really not a man, he's a super powerful person.
Most people, most of the time, are limited by their experience while admiring their experience.
The experience tells you what you cannot do and because of that, you are limited.
You'll see that the only reason people are flying is because someone said:
"The hell with the limitation, the hell with the idea of we cannot fly. Of course we can."
He used his past but without the past limiting him or affecting him.
Now, how do you get to a point where the past does not affect you?
How do you get to a point where the past does not limit you?
A very good thing to do on a gradient scale that will improve you is to consciously put things there.
So, you don't have an iPad, you put the iPad there.
You don't see a road, you put the road there.
You just mentally decide that you put it there. You'll see that if you'll sit for 30 seconds or a minute, not more, and put the things around you, you will have a different viewpoint on life.
If you look around and you say, "Okay, fine. This is my phone. I put it there. It's not just there. I causitively put it there." "This is my coffee. I causitively put it there."
If you continue to do that starting on a short time and gradually increase the time, at one point you will realize that you become cause over the environment and not the effect of your past.
Try it!
Thank you, and enjoy the video below.
