Another everyday miracle...............
I came across an article NUERO - AXIOLOGY by 6 Advisors.

The average person thinks about 12,000 thoughts per day. Deep thinkers have as many as 50,000 thoughts per day. If you subtract 8 hours for sleeping, that comes to nearly a thought per second! That's a lot of noise!

Value drives the process.
We all recognize that our values impact our lives, but it is often difficult to clarify exactly how our values and our ability to make value choices (resolve conflicting values) shape our verythoughts, decisions, and actions - even automatic, subconsciously-driven reactions.People will often say things like,

“There’s nothing more important than my family”, and yet wesee them so wrapped up in their work that they seldom have time for home. Or “CustomerService is our business” and yet, upon examination, a business finds that their policies andpractices don’t really focus on their customers' needs.Why? Very simply, a person with normal brain function will always choose, consciously or subconsciously(through habit), what he/she perceives will produce the greatest net value in thatmoment. You have never made a single conscious choice that was not an attempt to maximizevalue. Even a person contemplating suicide is making a value choice - "will I be better off deador alive?" A father berating his son for not doing a “good job,” believes, in that moment, that heis doing the “right thing” for his son. An employee who steals from the company steals becausehe thinks it will deliver the greatest net value – in his mind the reward outweighs the risk.The problem is that our perception of what will add value may be, and often is, inaccurate. Why?Because our momentary perception is based upon a plethora of other thoughts, experiences,habits, values, assumptions, agendas, desires, fears, facts, priorities and sensory inputs.You plan your day based mostly on your priorities. Priorities are value judgments. Whensomething unexpected comes up, you are faced with making a choice as to whether or notdealing with the unexpected event is of higher value than your original plan. What you decide todo will be determined by the value you place on the two options. Note: all of this can occurbelow the level of consciousness when you are “running on automatic pilot.”Our subconscious, automatic habits of mind were developed from conscious thoughts, decisions,and reactions to sensory stimulation including what other people have told us. "I'm not goodenough," or "winning is everything" were learned somewhere along the way and repeated oftenenough to become a highly energy-efficient mental habit based upon the perception that it willsupport our success. They have become hardwired in our neuropathology, subconsciouslyimpacting our perceptions, choices, actions, and reactions.How does "I'm not good enough" support our success? It may protect us from the emotional painof failure by keeping us from trying new things. It might also galvanize us to take action in aneffort to compensate for the limiting belief or to prove that we are “good enough.”
Regardless of the justification, theunderlying drive to add value is ever-present.The key to success is being consistentlyaccurate in what actually adds the greatestnet value. By “net” value, we mean with allthings considered. An action may add valueto one part of life (work), but take awayvalue form another (family). The choice toquit smoking may add value to one’s health,but also be perceived as taking away thevalue of the “good” feeling that nicotinegives. Until the value of being a non-smoker,outweighs the value of the nicotine, theperson is not going to quit.From a practical leadership perspective, ifyou have employees whose behavior orperformance you want to improve, you mustwork to organically change their value thinking to support the desired performance.
