Do You Need To Change Out The Chip In Your Head?

I have always thought, especially with observing as a Realtor in an intensely people-oriented business like real estate that some of us just need to change our internal programming.

If I can draw the parallel to a machine, the computer, ask yourself this question,

    Do You Need To Change Out The Chip In Your Head?

Think how a computer has instructions for its behavior and what it outputs to the world all built in. So the analogy with the human brain is similar to a degree. We act on life from our experience base, our beliefs, our attitudes, our urges, our good and evil sides. Think of ALL this wrapped up into ONE CHIP in us.

I hear all the time self-limiting beliefs about your ability. How much home you can afford. What car to drive. What kind of husband or wife you need in your life. What kind of father or mother you are or should be. The reality for all of us we could change in a moment, IF WE WOULD ONLY CHANGE OUT THAT DARN CHIP. Where's a nearby Radio Shack when you need one???

Next in conjunction with the chip idea, think of yourself as some kind of Mister and Missus Potato Head People. Much of the way we dress, talk, our table manners, our grooming, our hygiene is cultural. Like dressing the external Potato Heads with a moustache or funny ears or bug eyes can be changed by our choices.

So chip for the inside and choices for the outside of us.

This computer comparison to the brain can be taken too far for sure. We all know the brain is much more complex than a mere computer, but the chip idea and your control over it I don't think people grasp the simplicity of that symbol.

The brain of course has its logical and emotional sections so it is MUCH more complex than a single chip.

The point is even if you don't have the brain of Einstein but you think of yourself more as the brain of Bart Simpson, you can change. You don't have to be the same way your whole life. You don't have to keep telling yourself OVER AND OVER the same messages you are telling yourself. YOU CAN go another direction. Listen to others sometimes and I swear you will think they are broken records. Like, I have always been poor, woe is me, I have always been poor.....BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.

Tomorrow is a new day for your life. Do you need a new chip?
