How Your Brain Filters What You See 🤔

Summary

After buying a particular car, you may start noticing similar cars everywhere, even though they were already on the road. This happens because the brain cannot process everything around it, so it filters information and focuses on what seems relevant.

The same principle shapes what you notice more broadly: focusing on problems can make them seem more prominent, while looking for opportunities can make them easier to spot. The world itself may not have changed; what changes is what your brain lets you notice.
