Poverty dramatically affects children’s brains according to an article in USA Today.

Comparing the brain functioning of “children of poverty” to that of stroke victims was a not so surprising – for those of us who understand the direct relationship between what we “think” and the neurological pathways – what we think –  create inside the brain.

In the Intentional Prosperity™ System I clearly explain how a “poverty mindset” literally creates an expectation of poverty within an individual –  which then becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.  

It’s not surprising that the scientific community is finally beginning  to “discover” what many of us who have been students of the “human operating system” have long accepted as “common sense”:

You Become What You Believe 

Why has it been so hard for the scientific community to accept consciousness as the ultimate determination of what we perceive and experience as our day-to-day  physical reality?

Maybe consciousness – as cause –  is too easy.  After all, “where you place your focus and attention – becomes your reality” - sounds too much like pretending.  You know: I’m going to pretend I’m this and because I’m putting all my attention on it I will actually become what I pretend to be.

But that’s how it really works – it’s that easy

We – that is our mind –  needs to create a rationale for what it will believe so it tends to dismiss as “not credible” anything that just seems “too easy”.

Where’s the dissertation?  The research – the corroborating authors and scholars?

Focus + Attention = Reality

It can’t be that easy!

But it is… Accepting and practicing that formula – now that’s a challenge.
