Tony Robbins shows how identity shapes what you see and how you judge others. He walks through an exercise where your focus determines what you notice, then explains how labeling someone a jerk makes you interpret everything they do through that lens.
The strongest force in human personality is the need to stay consistent with how we define ourselves. Here's a way to show you this metaphorically. Look around this room and see everything. Or if you're at home, everything you find that's brown in your room. Quick, look around you. Look behind you. Look for brown. Look for brown. Look for brown. Close your eyes. Tell me everything you just saw that was red.
Now you're smiling and some of you laughing. Why? How many are seeing a lot more brown than red? Make some noise if that's true.
Open your eyes and look for red. Look everywhere you can for red. Look for red. Look for red. Look for red. Look for red. Look for red. Look for red. Makes a noise. If you see a lot more red this time, make some noise if you would. So why did you find more red this time? Seek and you shall find. Even if it's not there, I'll prove it to you. How many saw Burgundy, called it red just so you could feel successful? If you think someone's identity of someone else's, they're a jerk, they're a manipulator, they're a liar. You will color their good behavior into a problem. How many? Follow what I'm talking about here? So our identity for ourselves controls our entire life.
