Winner's Circle Network with Lou Tice - Scotomas

Winner's Circle Network with Lou Tice - " Scotomas "

Do you know what Scotomas are? Everyone has them and they can keep you from

seeing the opportunities all around you.

Have you ever heard of a " Scotoma? " It's what doctors call the defect that

blocks sight in one part of our visual field. It's also a term I use to

describe our occasional failure to see what's right in front of us because

we build our own Scotoma, or mental blind spot, to it.

You see for the most part, we see what we expect to see or what we look for,

not what is really there. What we expect to see is determined by our beliefs

about reality. If we believe the world is a hostile, unfriendly place, we'll

see evidence to support that belief everywhere we look. But if we believe

people are basically good and that the world is a supportive, friendly

place, that's what we'll see and experience.

Now, our beliefs are mostly a matter of how we have been conditioned since

birth. But once we become adults, it is possible to become aware of our

conditioning, our belief systems, and even our Scotomas.

We can choose to expand our consciousness, remove our blind spots, and adopt

beliefs that will help us grow instead of clinging to expectations and

attitudes that keep us suspicious and small. By the simple act of making

this choice, we actually start the wheels of a better future turning.

And by the daily affirmation of goals that support our commitment, we become

top-notch Scotoma Busters, and then we really start to grow!
