You have a filter, a characteristic way of responding to the world around you. We all do. Your filter tells you which stimuli to notice and which to ignore — which to love and which to hate. It creates your innate motivations — are you competitive, altruistic or ego-driven? It defines how you think — are you disciplined or laissez-faire, practical or strategic? It forges your prevailing attitudes — are you optimistic or cynical, calm or anxious, empathetic or cold? It creates all of your distinct patterns of thought, feeling and behavior. In effect, your filter is the source of your talents.
