Choose It and It Will Happen

The third rule of the Brain Operating System (BOS) is “If you choose it, then it will happen.” That rule may sound impossible to you when you think of the failures or accidents that may have occurred in your life. However, your brain can really work this way when you take the other two rules of BOS into account: good news makes a good brain and wake up and pay attention. With positive information in your brain to prevent its circuits from getting blocked and your attention focused on your goal, you are making a real and clear choice.

Many times we may think we want something, but don’t put the energy, attention, and action behind that desire to make it happen. That thought is not a real choice but a flight of fancy. We have many thoughts, but choices are those thoughts that lead to an outcome in the world after we’ve given them enough energy.

If you really choose something, you need to persevere in that choice with unshakable determination and trust that it will happen in order for your choice to manifest.

Forget about any doubt or fear you have about your choice. If you act on your choice boldly and quickly, the emotions of doubt and fear will be cut, and the energy you were using for those emotions will be put toward your goal. When you vacillate in doubt and fear, you have not made a clear choice and therefore it will not occur.

With your belief and action on your choice, it will happen.
