The Frontal Lobe in the human brain is the epitome of our race. We as humans differ from any other species among all by our frontal lobe. Frontal lobe is the executive who decides on action, planning and inventing. Hence, to master your frontal lobe is to master life possibilities. The frontal lobe gives us permission to hold on to a concept or idea independently of the circumstances.
Among all the functions performed by the frontal lobe there are two we usually take for granted: observation and paying attention. We all think we are capable of observing and paying attention. These are just normal tasks any human being can perform. Nothing more incorrect than this belief. Recent research has shown that observing and attention would not be taken for granted. They are skills that require to be developed just as playing tennis or piano with a certain level of mastery.
We are capable of looking at things but few of us really observe the subtle and and are able to pay attention to the details.
Why is it so important to master your frontal lobe?
Mastering the skill of observation is mastering the frontal lobe. Science is beginning to understand that our brains are formed by our ability to pay attention. It is in the process of paying attention that we make new neural connections. Any form of learning involves the creation of new connections or neural networks and the capability to sustain those connections is what we call memory. Remembering something is activating those connections, like the lighted path in a plane. Those neural paths take us where the information is. Experts are capable to access the information from different paths, no matter the angle or perspective of a specific situation, the expert brain always grant access to the stored information.
Let’s think of a “catador”, catadores are capable of observing characteristics and paying attention to the subtle details of wines, some of these detail cannot be perceived by normal noses or palates. Catadores have educated their brains to store incredible amounts of information and to retrieve that information whenever it is needed. This mechanism is the same with any other type of specialized knowledge.
Now let’s think of people who have healed themselves of incurable diseases, who have survived the un-survivable or who have become successful despite very difficult conditions in their lives. There are infinite cases and examples independent of age, gender, nationality or religion. It has been shown that these people had the ability to observe a different outcome for their lives. They held on and truly believed they could do better than what they were predestined to be. They were capable of sticking to a more elevated vision of their lives.
Your brain wiring
One can then conclude the thinking is more important than the environment and current conditions. You can perceive and experience a new reality as long as you have a life vision and store it in your frontal lobe. The reality you perceive is based on your brain wiring. By changing your belief you change your brain wiring. By changing your brain wiring you will perceive a different reality, a new life.
The best advice for a better life is that you become highly self aware of your brain wiring, your beliefs and conditions feeding that wiring. Have a life vision, use your frontal lobe to stick to that vision. Visualize it, your frontal lobe will help you with that. Pay attention to that life vision, write it, regularly work on it making sure you align your habits, boundaries and values to your vision. Do the work my dear. Do it now!
You can not change your destination overnight, but you can change your direction overnight.
