Genetics vs Reprogramming Sub Conscious Mind.

[ExploringReality]

You mentioned that genetics is 99.99 % and effort is 1% for our overall holistic health and I wonder also of what I hear of epigenetics and a paradigm shift of looking at how we can and do change. Can Reprogramming the subconscious mind connect with an effort to change our genetics? Because especially people like Bruce Lipton discuss the power of epigenetics. 

I am fascinated with this stuff without buying into it, and also hearing you say effort plays a very small role in our genetics and genetic expression. Just want to sort this out and add puzzle pieces to having a clearer understanding.

The idea that genetics determine 99% of our destiny is oversimplified. This applies only for anybody aiming to break into the top 1%. No amount of hard work or strategy alone can guarantee that leap. Very good genetics is a must.

But most people simply want to be decent, in the top 30%. Somebody with average genetics needs to work harder and smarter than somebody with stronger genetics to compensate for that disadvantage.

Beyond genetics, early childhood programming and training, environment, and mindset also play a crucial role. Leo’s genetic gifts would have been largely wasted had he grown up in Russia. He probably wouldn’t have accomplished nearly as much as he has by growing up in the USA. 

What I've said here applies to every domain in life: health, lifespan, dating, business success, and spiritual success.

How true is "hard work beats talent when talent don't work hard"? Is talent referred to or related with genetics? Like we hear people say that he or she is very talented, for example there are many great boxers that have poor fundamentals and bad techniques and form but they have God given power and other abilities to compensate. In this example a boxer that may not have those genetic competitive advantages but trains very hard and very smart can definitely beat a talented boxer but also The talented boxer or fighter can defeat world class level competition. It's an interesting way to look at this issue in the sports and combat domain and arena.

It’s exactly the same mechanism in boxing and MMA. Floyd Mayweather and Jon Jones possess exceptional fighting genetics, which naturally gives them very high fighting intelligence. They’re prime examples of how genetics can account for 99% of performance. Do you practice boxing? Pick the best boxer in your gym. How old is he, 28? Even if you gave him another hundred years of life devoted solely to boxing training, I can still guarantee that he wouldn’t reach Mayweather’s level, because no amount of training can compensate for Mayweather’s extraordinary genetics.

But in reality, most people who train in boxing or MMA just want to be decent fighters. They don’t need exceptional genetics for that. They just need to train hard, stay focused, and keep an open mind.

The Mayweather's are a family of fighting, so the genetics are strong. All of the skills and accolades attributed to Mayweather and other greats are due to his early exposure and extreme hard work, desire to master and dedication paradoxically with his genetics. He was literally bred from fighters, his uncles, daddy and coaches were there his whole life. You don't have to be a Mayweather or GSP to get extremely great and masterful at something, but trying to compete or compare with another freak athlete or human is futile. Our genetic expressions are uniquely our own whether someone else has genetic advantages. In every area of life, genetics play a huge role mostly.
