Brain burning... My term for something that is so impacting, you are never the same again (big or small, better or worse) it's much easier to change this way than just wanting it and willing it.
Willpower is hard to make work for us...

One of many anecdotal articles... I've seen hard evidence papers but can't find them right now.
Can you force a 'brain burn'? Or is a key ingredients of the burning surprise?
I had an event... nay, a sentence that changed me, very unexpected... Like a mirror i hadn't looked into for a while, someone reflected a part of me that i hadn't noticed... Once pointed out though, it was quite evident. I couldn't not ignore it even if i wanted to because of its 'brain burning' properties... Am I better or worse? Depends on your point of view, but factually, definitely different.
We all have a sense of who we are (regardless of whether we can articulate it or not) and if that thought of ourselves is challanged and we accept the new premise... It can literally change our lives... For better or worse, big or small. Keep open minded to keep the opportunities of growing alive. By the way... open minded is the Willingness to change or accept a point of view based on facts or lack their of.
