About This Quote
Have you ever wondered why you’re so good at some things but not at others? Have you ever felt like someone else was doing better than you in some areas of your life? Why is it, for example, that I am so good at math and science but am terrible at writing? The answer to these questions comes from psychologist Robert Dilts. Every person has the ability to create new neural connections in their brain. A new connection can be created by spending time practicing something. It can also be created by the act of simply thinking about doing it.
Dilts notes that when someone practices a skill or learns a new concept, they are actually creating new neural connections. These connections will only become stronger as the person spends more time doing those activities.
