today I'm going to share something that will change how you see the world in order
to understand what I'm talking about we have to first listen to this clip that
I came across on Twitter now just letting you know this toy is about to say "Green Needle"
you heard "green needle" right? now what if I told you that this clip is actually
saying brainstorm a totally different word brainstorm listen to the clip again
isn't that interesting now I didn't pull any editing tricks it's the exact same clip as before
yet what you just heard drastically changed based on your beliefs and your expectations this gives
us some insight on something that I like to call the translator what is the translator well there's
a brief period of time that it takes for reality to be interpreted by our brain whatever happens
around you must first be received by your sensory organs such as your eyes ears and skin and then
processed by your brain to create the final image in your mind this processing step is almost like
translating a foreign language into a language that you understand which is why I'm calling it
The translator the sound waves you just heard from the clip I played are the exact same both times
but because your translator was set to a different quote-unquote language setting each time your
interpretation of the event drastically changed this applies to almost everything we experience
in life the majority of the information that our body receives throughout the day goes through this
translation process this includes interactions we have with other people and images that we see
on social media now depending on what you believe about the world and about yourself
your interpretation of what you experience can differ vastly for example let's say you believe
many negative things about yourself such as I'm not good enough or everyone dislikes me
or even I make everyone's life worse let's then say one day one of your peers or co-workers was
to respond aggressively to one of your questions any updates on the project I'm working on it if
you believe many negative things about yourself your translator might interpret this as being
your fault that you did something wrong yet again that caused someone to get upset when
in reality they might have just been stressed about something that was happening at home right
oftentimes stress from other aspects of Our Lives leak into our interactions with other
people on the other hand let's say you're someone who believes positive things about themselves like
people enjoy talking to me I I make friends easily I'm a high value person if you had these beliefs
your translator probably wouldn't interpret this situation as being your fault your beliefs about
the world control how your translator interprets things these interpretations often appear as dots
in your head so if you're someone who struggles with happiness chances are you are being swamped
by negative thoughts thoughts that make you feel worse about things which is why you should
consider what setting your translator has been set to what beliefs and expectations do you have about
the world if you can somehow adjust these settings you'll start to feel better because the thoughts
that appear in your mind will change there are three ways you can do this the first is to get
help from someone else an expert of the mind to help you tune the settings of your translator

Improvement pill that's better h-e-l-p and join over a million people who are currently using
the platform the second way you can change the settings for your translator is through repetition
you see the translator is not the only source of thoughts that appear in our mind we have the
ability to consciously think certain things and if we think a certain thought enough times we can
gradually change the settings of our translator for example if you started a gratitude Journal
where you write 10 things to be grateful about every day you would eventually teach yourself
to look at things in a more positive light the same can be done by repeating a mantra over and
over again when you meditate or even by putting Post-it notes all around your workspace so that
you are constantly reminded to think of certain thoughts the third way to prove to yourself that a
certain belief is true is to gather irrefutable proof If you currently believe you are a lazy
person who will never accomplish anything in life you can figure out a way to accomplish something
that most people consider to be difficult one great way to do this is to hit the gym because
less than 20 of people actually manage to hit the gym consistently so if you somehow build a habit
of going you're accomplishing more in regards to your health than eighty percent of people this is
definitive proof that you are not lazy whenever your translator interprets something through
the lens of you being lazy you can then remind yourself that this is not true because of this
irrefutable proof that you've gathered I hope this video was helpful and besides that guys stay tuned
