Top Leadership Expert Reveals Secret to Rewiring for Success #shorts

Our whole modern culture is actually driven by stress and trauma. It's driven by a sense of scarcity, a sense of being uncomfortable in my skin, a sense of fear of others. And it brings out all of these destructive forces inside of us. And actually now this isn't just metaphorical. We have all the science that shows this is true. And on the other hand, it's almost as if we've never seriously entertained or discovered that there's a whole other side to our potential. It may not be the default side because we, given negativity bias, we tend toward worst case and self protection. But with training and with support and encouragement, we can learn to really shift out of stress as a way of being. And of course the challenge there is, what you're suggesting is that thriving requires training. Human beings don't just thrive.

Yeah, our brains are wired for fear and safety, not for happiness and thriving.

It's in there as a potential, but it has to be activated, has to be chosen, actually, has to be explicitly chosen and cultivated.
