What influences success - our brain or our will?

Experts in the field of neurophysiology claim that all our decisions are made by the brain, not our consciousness. Before we understand something, the brain itself makes the decision. Our consciousness only connects ready-made decisions with us with a slight delay, which is why it simply seems to us that we are deciding something ourselves.

All this sounds scary, strange, unpleasant to us, because we are used to thinking that our lives depend on us, our fate is in our hands, and we can achieve anything we work hard for.

What is really happening?

According to scientists, we decide very little, the main decision-makers are the brain. Successful people are simply pathological workaholics: their superhuman energy, activity and fanaticism are just a feature of the brain, “excessive activity of the reticular formation”.

Such people sleep little and work a lot, not because they set themselves higher goals, but because they are not relieved by the surge of energy, which, if not spent, will burn out their brain.

Their brains are arranged in such a way that they simply cannot stand idle. This is precisely the reason for the success of hard workers - they work much harder than others.

If you work twice as hard as most people, you will probably achieve more. Elon Musk also said in interviews that he works more hours a day than others. At this point, the question arises: is it really only a matter of time spent on work?

It is not easy to agree with the opinion that the whole secret of success is to sleep less and work more.

If you follow the method of successful people and set a big goal, you will have to get involved in work and say goodbye to sleep for a long time. Many say that they did not have any special talents, they just worked hard.

Successful people are convinced that if a person intends to do something, but does not do it, this is his personal choice. In their opinion, everyone can achieve something in life. It is believed that those who do not achieve success simply do not want to work, so they always find reasons and excuses not to do anything.

All this is perceived ambiguously, given that both types of people ("lazy" and "hardworking") have different brains.

What if this is not the choice of the person himself, but of his brain? The brain does not strive for success, its main goal is self-preservation.

All our successes are just an attempt by the brain to expel excess energy from the reticular formation in order to maintain balance and not explode. This is a process that has no end: it is impossible to reach the finish line and calm down. As long as the reticular formation (the reticular formation is a region of the brainstem, which is represented by a dense network of nerves and is connected to the thalamus with its long fibers. It acts as a sentinel for the brainstem, activating the cerebral cortex and controlling the reflex action of the spinal cord. Thus, it determines the readiness of the cerebral cortex to receive sensory information, i.e. new stimulation, and is responsible for maintaining consciousness and awakening. In addition, it maintains a certain level of alertness even during sleep. Since the reticular formation is involved in the regulation of the tone of the centers located in the brainstem, serious damage to this area leads to coma.) remains active, people will always find new and new goals.

With a normal reticular formation, a person does not need to work 20 hours a day, nothing pushes him to such actions, because excessive effort will eventually end in a nervous breakdown. At the same time, such people can be happy without too much work.
