Strong people don't have attitude, they have standards.

Something I read somewhere said that your brain knows how to learn just as your heart knows how to beat and your lungs know how to take in air and do all that they do. We tend to not have confidence in our own brain's ability to learn while we think other people are just gifted or smarter. But that is not reality. The reality is that the human body is a habitual creature. One of my favorite quotes is from Henry David Thoreau who wrote, "Choose only the best life for habit will make it easy." In other words, if we wake up each morning and go for a run, our body will get very good at going for a run each morning. If we wake up each morning and sit on the couch, our body will get very good at doing that. Our brain is the same way. We learn what we repeatedly do. Our brain will get what we repeatedly do whether we want it to or not. We can trust that our brain knows how to learn, so it is not a matter of our brain not doing its job, it is a matter of us doing ours. I love to listen to Dr. Michael Greger who said, "Our body is always trying to heal itself but we always get in its way." We do things that are either conducive to learning, growing, healing, etc., or we get in the way. By not whole-heartedly investing the time a skill takes to learn it, and by not doing the work thoroughly, we get in the way of acquiring knowledge and thus get in the way of developing confidence in our ability to learn. The best builder of believing in oneself is completing something. The body and the brain require habitual repetition in order to grow and become stronger, but we can know that it will grow, learn, heal, etc., if we put in that habitual action. It cannot help it. It will happen. Dig in and do the work. Invest the time. Your brain and body will follow with strength and growth. I like to look at it like our body is a toddler and we are the parent. We are in charge of how it develops. If left with no guidance and action it will likely not do that well. But constant good decisions and it will bloom. It responds very well to whatever is invested into it - good or bad.
Choose only the best life for habit will make it easy. This is a powerful formula for life.
