The brains of people who can take action are designed this way! As a beginner, I was trembling

Why do successful people get results so quickly...?

While scrolling through social media, I always felt that way somewhere in my heart.

I have the knowledge. I have the skills. I should have the motivation, yet for some reason, I don't make progress as I'd like.

In fact, by the end of the day, I'd feel depressed, thinking, 'I didn't get anything done again.'

But what was introduced in this lecture was the idea of 'organizing your thinking before ability or effort.'

A way of thinking like a magnet that somehow attracts success—it's called 'Magnetic Thinking Method'.

I am a beginner who is nobody. But that is exactly why I thought it was worth trying.

From here on are my notes. I will summarize the records of my deepened understanding and organization, while quoting the lecturer's words.



[Part 1] The true nature of the 'energy' that only people who take action possess


At the beginning of the lecture, the topic was about 'energy for action.'

It's not about motivation or mood, but a more essential energy as a 'power to stand up.'

This part was particularly impressive.

The beginning uses the most energy.
Airplanes also use the most fuel at the start, right?
Bicycles are also heavy to start pedaling.
Even when waking up in the morning, the first step is the most difficult.

When put this way, I could think of so many examples.

For instance, in the morning. While I'm thinking 'five more minutes' in bed, my brain is saying it doesn't want to use energy. Even when I try to start a task, the first move feels heavy.

I think my brain is desperately looking for 'reasons why I don't have to do it yet.'

But the lecturer continued like this.

There is an overwhelming wall between 0 and 1.
Many people do not take action even after gaining knowledge.
That is because they are afraid of 'doing it and not getting results.'

This really hit home.

It's better not to do it than to take action and fail. Because that way, I don't have to blame myself.

However, it is also a fact that because of that, 'just doing it puts you ahead of the pack'.

Furthermore, the instructor emphasized that 'the energy source for taking action can be anything'.

The reason for taking action doesn't have to be cool.
Wanting to be recognized, wanting to be popular, wanting to take it easy.
It is perfectly okay to take action for messy reasons.
If you can take action even with those, that is the right answer.

Hearing this part, I honestly felt relieved.

I had always felt a sense of guilt because I couldn't find a motive like 'for the sake of the world and others'.

But, 'if it becomes fuel for taking action, anything is okay'.

The moment I encountered that way of thinking, the tension in my shoulders suddenly melted away.

Not being able to take action isn't because your willpower is weak. It's just that your brain dislikes energy consumption.

If that's the case, even if it's for a 'slightly selfish reason', first turn 0 into 1.

Just by being able to think that way, I felt the weight of that first step become a little lighter.


In [Part 2], we will delve into 'control power to sustain action'.
It's a story about another key necessary not just to start running, but to 'hold both the brake and the accelerator yourself'.


[Part 2] The story of 'influence' to hold the steering wheel of yourself as a car


Even if you have the energy to take the first step, that alone is not enough. It is meaningless unless you maintain it, control it, and keep moving forward.

What the instructor was talking about next was the story of 'influence over yourself'.

Your heart is the driver, and your body is the car.
When you decide to start something, can you move your body as you intended?
When you decide to stop something, can you stop it cleanly?

To this question, I immediately answered, 'I cannot'.

Even if I decide 'I'll do it today', I end up mindlessly scrolling through social media. Even if I think 'I'll go to sleep now', I end up fiddling with my smartphone for over 30 minutes until I get into bed.

In other words, the steering wheel of the car that is me was always in a state where it felt like someone else was holding it.

Here, the instructor delved into the car analogy one step further.

When you take a wrong turn while driving a car,
people with influence over themselves can immediately make a U-turn and correct it.
People without influence worry about 'what to do' and waste time.
Meanwhile, they are moving further and further away from their destination.

This was just too realistic.

Personally, when I make a mistake or something unexpected happens, my thinking freezes, and it takes me a long time to recover.

Every time that happens, I feel like giving up, thinking, 'Maybe I can't do this anymore.'

But what if I had the power to act immediately, thinking, 'Oh, I made a mistake. Let me fix it.'

I realized that just by accumulating those moments, the future I could reach would change completely.

People who have influence over themselves can do things as soon as they decide to.
They can stop as soon as they decide to stop.
Just by creating this state, you will start to see overwhelming results.

It was here that I finally realized.

It wasn't that I was no good because I couldn't do it,
but rather that my influence over myself just hadn't grown yet.

And then, the instructor told me this as well.

Challenges always involve mistakes and failures.
There is no one who can reach success without making any mistakes.
What matters is whether you can correct yourself when you fail.
This is the filter that separates 'people who succeed' from 'people who end there.'

This was a shock to me.

Until now, I had thought that 'failure equals the end.'

But failure is actually 'material for correction,' and it's about changing your course each time to get a little closer to your destination.

If you take a wrong turn while driving, you don't just go home. You correct your direction on the spot and start driving again.

When I thought about it that way, I felt like there was still a path for me.

Furthermore, the instructor spoke like this as well.

Influence over yourself is
whether you can immediately put into action what you think in your heart.
By possessing this simple power,
the speed of your actions and the speed of your corrections will change dramatically.

Indeed.

Anyone can set a goal. But there are overwhelmingly few people who can translate that into 'immediate action.'

That is precisely why I believe that if you possess that power, you can stand out from the crowd just by that alone.

My theme from now on is,

"Think it, do it immediately," and "If you drift, correct it immediately."

By making these two things a habit, I will become the driver of the car that is myself.


In the next [Part 3], I will talk about how it is important not just to move forward, but also to "turn."

I will delve into the topic of flexibility, specifically how "fixation" can block your path.


[Part 3] Fixation makes you miss opportunities. The ultimate weapon called "flexibility"


From the discussion so far, the importance of "the power to take action" and "the power to move yourself" has become clear.

But no matter how energetically you move forward, or how freely you can move yourself, what happens if the "path you are taking" is wrong?

What the instructor talked about next was the topic of "flexibility."

You must not fixate on one way of doing things.
The attitude of sticking to your own path might look cool at first glance, but
at the same time, it means you are crushing your own potential.

At first, when I heard these words, it stung a little.

Things I had believed were "the right way to do it." Things I had unconsciously rejected because I wanted to protect "being myself."

Looking back, there were many times that didn't go well because of that.

For example, when I write a blog, I used to be convinced that "I must not start writing until I have properly decided on the structure."

But in reality, I would spend too much time on that preparation and run out of energy before I even started writing. That happened many times.

But the instructor says this:

If the road is congested, you should just choose another path.
Because you try to force your way through a road under construction,
it takes unnecessary time, and you end up getting into accidents.

This "car analogy" was truly excellent and hit home deeply.

Just because the road you are on now is the one you chose first, there is no reason at all why you have to keep pushing forward on it forever.

Even so, why do we hesitate to "change"?

The instructor said that this is a pride called 'obsession'.

Many people think that changing their approach equals losing.
But in reality, changing your approach is the best choice for achieving results in the shortest time.

For me, these words shook my way of thinking to its core.

Deep down, I had this assumption that 'changing equals losing'.

However, I have seen people who are flexible to change achieving results one after another, even at this very moment.

And the instructor shared this image with us.

Be flexible, like river water or willow branches.
Instead of clashing with someone else's values,
take them in, absorb them, and use them as material for judgment.
That flexibility is the mindset of those who survive.

At that moment, the phrase 'those who can adapt to environmental changes are strong' came to my mind.

In society, in business, and on social media, it is a world where change is the norm.

I realized that continuing to resist it is far more unnatural.

And the instructor's closing words were the deciding factor.

Rather than those who stick to their own path, those who can observe the situation and choose the optimal path
will have overwhelmingly different results and speed.
Flexibility is an accelerator for results.

I thought that was certainly true.

Letting go of obsessions takes courage.

But there is no meaning in being stubborn; rather,'the freedom to choose your path again by your own will' is what it truly means to 'live like yourself', isn't it?

Andflexibility is not just a passive attitude, but an active power to choose for yourself in order to 'make things better' as well.

I decided that from now on, I would try to move a little more lightly.

Instead of moving forward stubbornly, I will move forward while re-choosing the 'path that suits me now.' I believe that is the shortest way to expand my potential.


In [Part 4], I will write about how to incorporate the three ways of thinking covered so far into your own 'customized' approach.

I will write about habit design to internalize the magnetic thinking method with reproducibility.


[Part 4] How can you recreate the brain blueprint of 'people who attract success' for yourself?


The three ways of thinking we have learned so far—

'Energy to stand up',
'Power to control yourself',
'Flexibility to bend gracefully'.

None of these are complete on their own; they only create a 'magnetic' attraction when they interact with each other.

So, how can you incorporate this thinking into your daily life?
How can someone like me, who is 'still nobody', wear that magnetic field?

I would like to summarize the design for 'reproducibility' that the instructor talked about here, as a final point.

First,the very first thing you need is 'awareness',the instructor says.

To become someone who can move through structure rather than through grit or willpower,
you just need to recognize that 'I am currently in the moment of turning 0 into 1'.

Just by flipping this awareness switch, the judgment that was wavering between 'to do or not to do' changes to 'just move once'.

There is more power in this than you can imagine.

For example, in my case, I have a 'habit of wandering around for an hour before starting work'. But now, I try to ask myself this at that time.

'I am currently in the place where I am creating 1 from 0'.

Then, I feel a little more at ease.

Because I can think, 'This is a natural weight,' instead of 'This is a hassle'.

Andthe second is 'designing action to be your normal operation',.

The instructor repeated here that it is important to utilize the nature of the human brain.

The brain is a creature that prefers the status quo.
Therefore, if you make 'the self that is taking action' your new 'normal',
it will conversely become uncomfortable to stop.

When I heard this, I thought, 'I see'.

Until now, 'the self that is stopped' was my normal operation. That's why I had to turn on the switch with full power every time I took action.

But if action becomes a daily routine, that reversal will happen.

To achieve this, what I practice is deciding on a "trigger that always gets me moving."

For example, whenever I open my laptop, I always set a timer for 5 minutes and immediately do just one task. By simply building up this "conditioned reflex," starting a task has become much easier.

And the instructor says this as well.

Once you take action, the psychology of "it's a loss to stop" begins to work.
Therefore, if you create a system that doesn't stop, you will naturally be able to continue.

This was a discussion about the "sunk cost effect."

By starting an action, you unconsciously reach a state where you think, "It would be a waste to stop here."

People act more to avoid loss than to gain.

You are intentionally utilizing this trait.

In other words, as long as you create the "first step" and a "design for continuing," you can become someone who proceeds calmly without relying on motivation or mood.

Finally, the instructor spoke about the "magnetic force" created by this way of thinking.

People are attracted to those who are energetic, in control of themselves, and able to respond flexibly. Connections and opportunities naturally gather around such people.
In short, this is the "Magnetic Thinking Method."

When I heard this, I suddenly realized, "It's not about special abilities, it's about structure."

What successful people possess is not talent.

It was a blueprint of thoughts and habits.

By simply looking at that blueprint and assembling it to fit ourselves, we can become "people who attract things for some reason."

When I could believe that, the future felt a little closer.

Even a beginner like me, if I make this way of thinking a habit, might be able to go see scenery I haven't seen yet with my own two feet.

It was a lecture that made me think that way.

All that's left is to move the "story of my life" that starts here with magnetic force.
