Wondering how you can change your life?
Change what you see
The term Monkey see, Monkey Do originated from an experiment.
Scientist started by putting 5 monkeys in a cage.
When the monkeys started to get hungry, scientist would put food on top of the cage. The monkeys would try to climb up to the cage to get the food. When they would approach the top, scientist would spray them with water eventually trying to get them down. This happened for a while until all the monkeys knew that they would get sprayed with water “punished” if they approached the top.
Slowly over time, they would replace one monkey with a brand new monkey. When food came, the other monkeys would stop the new monkey from getting food at the top. Eventually all the monkeys were replaced with new monkeys until all 5 were brand new. They would stop each other from getting food at the top of the cage.
They say eyes are the gateway to the soul. What you see in life is where you will go. The environment is what you see day to day. What you see, leads to think about and what you think about leads to what you do.
In order to change your life, you have to change what you see.
