How can we become our authentic selves and operate more consistently and sustainably from the executive center of our brain? What helps us tap into this higher-functioning part of ourselves regularly?
And what is it that helps bring our life pendulum into equilibrium more easily?
Well, let’s go back to the Greek philosophers.
Aristotle referred to the fact that each individual has an inner desire to fill what is empty in their life. What is the most void in our life?
We seek to fill what is empty. We seek to fill our voids.
The voids that are most empty in our lives, we will want to fill the most. In other words, we prioritise the voids we want to fill the most.
And we unconsciously seek out ways to fill these voids. Ways to fill this inner emptiness in our life.
When we fill these voids or this inner emptiness in our lives, then we are filled. We are fulfilled. This is where personal fulfillment derives from.
So to obtain maximum personal fulfilment, we must fill our voids with the voids that are of most priority.
We unconsciously seek ways to fill these voids based on what holds the most unconscious priority. This results in a set of internal, unconscious priorities.
It is our highest unconscious internal priorities that we are seeking to fulfill the most. By filling these internal priorities the most, we achieve the most personal fulfillment, and we become our authentic selves.
It is these unconscious internal priorities that our unconscious is actively getting the executive center of our brain to make manifest.
Our internal priorities are what activate most effectively the executive center part of our brain.
Because each person’s life is unique to them, they have a unique set of internal priorities.
Even if you have twins growing up in the same home, and experiencing the same life, they each will have a unique set of internal priorities. The reason is that each sibling will have their perceptions of different events and moments in their life.
Two people can experience the same event, yet perceive it differently. Their individual perspectives shape how they interpret that shared moment.
So a person’s internal priorities are unique to them. They are fingerprint-specific. It is their authentic self.
For many people who are unaware of what their internal priorities are, it can lead to them feeling a lack of fulfillment or meaning in their lives. Or a sense that they’ve lost their mojo. That they can’t find their purpose or focus in life.
If someone isn’t aligned with their internal priorities, their unconscious tries to fill these voids. When these priorities are ignored, the voids remain unfulfilled. Therefore there is no fulfilment.
Your internal priorities are also your unconscious view of the world – they’re how you perceive and judge others, what you pursue in life, and how you make decisions.
They form your unconscious blueprint!
Your authentic self blueprint.
Your unconscious patterns when it comes to your relationships, your finances, your business, your health – everything in your life.
So when we consciously know our internal priorities, and we mold our business or our career around our internal priorities two main things are happening.
We are filling our voids the most, and therefore we are achieving maximum personal fulfillment.
And secondly, we are utilising our executive center the most.
And remember what I said in earlier blogs, our executive center is what gives us our results in a faster, easier, and less costly way.
As a result of operating from our executive center, we are more creative, more innovative, and more objective.
So if we want to achieve anything in life, and we want to achieve it in the fastest, easiest, and least costly way – then it needs to be in line with our internal priorities.
If we do this while keeping our life pendulum that I spoke about in the previous blog in equilibrium, we are then also in sync between our executive center, our unconscious, and the SuperConscious. This is where true alchemy lies. This is where true mastery lies.
When we align with our internal priorities, we align with our true selves. The true essence of who we are. Our authentic self.
This is one of the main reasons why so many people suffer from imposter syndrome. Because they are doing a business or a career that is not fully aligned with who they truly are. Their authentic self. Their inner voice, their gut feeling, their intuition, knows it to be false, to be out of alignment, and therefore they feel inwardly that they are a fraud. With that inner feeling of being a fraud, they will never achieve the success they desire because they fear being found out. If they fear being found out, they won’t push themselves into the world for fear of getting caught.
When our life pendulum is in equilibrium, this is when we are most integrated with our true selves, our true nature, our authentic selves. When we integrate with our true selves, we operate with integrity. For me, integrity means being fully integrated.
We become our true authentic selves. Again for me, that is when we are operating authentically and where our true authentic leadership shines through. We’re no longer a facsimile, an expression of someone else, a learned expression, or a shadow of someone else – we are our true selves because we are in line and equilibrium with our unique selves. That which is fingerprint specific to ourselves.
When I work with clients – the first thing I do is identify their internal priorities. Then we look at building their business or career around their internal priorities. Then we set about bringing them into equilibrium with their true selves.
When this is done, the results that they get are amazing. Apart from the personal fulfillment that they get, life becomes easier for them.
A common question I hear from clients is: If everyone has their unique internal priorities, and their staff’s priorities differ, how can they align their team to achieve greater business results?
And it’s easy!
When we align each team member’s internal priorities with the business’s mission and purpose, we achieve full staff engagement and alignment. This connection ensures that everyone feels personally invested in the company’s goals.
When we align each individual in the business, to how the internal priorities of their colleagues are serving them and each other, then you have maximum staff cohesion and engagement.
If our internal priorities are operating unconsciously, how can we identify them and bring them to the surface? By becoming aware of these priorities, we can align them with our business or career goals and make conscious decisions to support our growth.
Well, we look for the evidence in our lives.
Through a whole series of questions and by drilling down on the answers, we’re able to find the evidence that is in our life of what our unconscious is trying to fill the most.
By using a specific set of questions we’re able to find the evidence that is in our lives both externally and internally.
Externally in terms of our environment, how we spend our time, how we spend our money, how we spend our energy, and how we communicate with others.
And also internally. Our thoughts, our dreams and aspirations, our internal energy, and also our internal communication – that little voice inside our heads.
When we know our own unique set of unconscious internal priorities, and we build our business, our career, and our life around them, then that’s when we are more motivated, more driven to achieve, and more inspired to take action. That’s when we get maximum fulfillment in our life and we are expressing our true authentic selves. We are bringing ourselves, our executive center, our unconscious, and the SuperConscious more into alignment. We’re more creative, more innovative, and more objective. It’s our true inner leader. It’s when we become our unique pioneer.
Challenges like recessions, pandemics, redundancies, or financial loss can feel overwhelming. However, when aligned with The Genius Code™—connecting your executive center, unconscious, and SuperConscious—you see opportunities where others see failures. And while others see challenges, you see springboards to higher levels.
It’s what makes the difference between the person that struggles or is doing good enough, versus the person that is doing great or is thriving.
Discovering your unique personal priorities is one of the most vital exercises you can undertake in life.
