EP 238: Why You’re Struggling to Achieve More

The Bridge to Fulfillment

Ever feel like the same story continues to play out in your life?

There’s a reason for that. Until you learn to understand how your brain works, the outcome will always be the same.

Today on The Bridge to FulfillmentⓇ, Blake explains how our brain patterns search for past experiences in order to determine future outcomes. To achieve real growth in your life and career, you have to change your patterns.

In this episode, you’ll learn why our brain defaults to existing patterns and how that keeps us replaying the same stories. You’ll understand why asking questions can feel so challenging at times, and how you can overcome those fears. You’ll learn how assumptions often lead us in the wrong direction, and how you can start approaching situations with curiosity to experience real growth.

What You’ll Learn:

• How pattern matching in the brain keeps us stuck (1:24)

• Why it’s important to be curious rather than make assumptions (3:17)

• The challenge of asking questions (4:18)

• What changes when you approach the world with more curiosity (5:41)

Favorite Quotes:

1. There's huge benefits to the fact that our brains do pattern match. But one of the places that it really keeps us stuck is when we try to grow or change because inadvertently, we think we know how the outcome is going to look. And then we actually create that reality.

2. Allow yourself to understand that there might be many outcomes that could happen that you are completely unaware of.

3. When we change, our ability to create different outcomes changes.

4. When you can remove the need to be right, life can get infinitely better.
