How To Overcome Your Negative Assumptions

Listen Later

Today we talk about the importance of OVERCOMING your own NEGATIVE ASSUMPTIONS. It’s such a dangerous aspect of our life that can easily snowball out of control and be detrimental to the quality of our lives if we leave it unchecked. We define an assumptions as the act of coming to a conclusion without evidence to back it up. In this talk, we cover specific examples of how negative assumption can changed  in three aspects that include:

  • Personal Relationships 
  • Business Relationships
  • Learning Capabilities 

    • We also share a concept (F.A.S.T.) created by Jim Kwik about improving one’s learning ability that can make a huge difference in challenging the assumptions on how we view learning.  

    • F - FORGET what you already know / forget your limitations / forget everything around you (7 bits max)  
    • A - ACTIVE participation: education is not consumption but rather creation. Grab knowledge don’t be spoon fed knowledge (take notes: left side = capture notes / right side = creative notes) 
    • S - STATE mood of brain and body (we don’t have to react to the environment, be the thermostat not the thermometer)
    • T - TEACH can you explain to someone what you’ve learned?

      • “He who knows, does not speak. He who speaks, does not know.” - Lao Tzu

      Bad habits are subconscious manifestations of your negative assumptions
