Controlling Our Brain Takes Sustained Effort

Our brain takes 1 out of 4 breaths in a newborn to develop. It then needs constant stimulation and engagement. Things that seem difficult to understand crystallize after a number of attempts and we then realize that very little is out of human understanding.

After relying on our brain to carry us around and to do represent our best interest, it might come as a surprise that it has a mind of its own. Being intentional is what makes our brain align with our wants. Ever since we are toddlers we input information that dictates our reactions.

Without reviewing old data and refreshing it, or just delete it altogether and then replacing it with accurate information, we will stay in the past and run on directions that our parents thought at the time to be accurate. Imagine if every generations just carries on doing what the previous generation did. Would then the world truly evolve?
