A renowned speaker business consultant record-setting speed skier & Olympian Vince Poscente believes in the enormous potential of the unconscious mind. Poscente likens the dynamic between the conscious & subconscious minds to an ant & an elephant: Our minds are separated into two distinct functions
- the conscious & subconscious elements. Our ant is the intentional part of the brain but our elephant is the instinctual impulsive part of the brain that houses emotions & memories & even guides the body to perform vital functions. While we tend to know our conscious minds
- our ants
- rather well we often overlook the power of our elephantine subconscious minds. When we do unfortunately we squander a wellspring of human potential.
