Coaxing our brain, the way to success

When our basic needs like food and shelter are fulfilled, we tend to drift. Our brain relaxes when its main job of keeping us alive is done. 

To be able to reach any goal beyond these essential needs, we need to consciously repeat it enough times, until it becomes a habitual subconscious task. 

When we are comfortable, we start projects that we don't finish, we buy sports gear that we never use and we acquire courses on subject that we never learn. 

Our brain is very protective of the energy available to it. It doesn't care about our childhood dreams or aspirations, its only concerns it to spread our genes, so they can live on in another human "container".
This biological programming creates a dilemma that gets buffeted between our conscious desires and our brain's primitive framework. 

While we may logically understand the importance of growth and pursuing lofty goals, our brain tends to walk the path of the least resistance. 

The brain views our ambitious pursuits as potential threats to our current stability and as a drain on its precious resources. To thwart our efforts, it engages into its insidious self-sabotage that manifests itself under the guise of procrastination or rationalization. 

Pursuing our dreams requires us to override our natural tendencies and impulses through consistent repetition.

Success isn't just willpower, it's about working around our own neurological limitations by coaxing our brain to work for us and not against us through a healthy dose of patience and faith through relentless daily repeated practice, a practice divorced from any investment in its results.
