Your Personality is Writing Checks Your Reality Has to Cash

In partnership with

Ever feel like you’re living in a rerun? Not a comforting, funny one, but the one where you’re the star, and the plot is, shall we say, painfully predictable.

You wake up, drink the same coffee from the same mug, drive the same route, and then wonder why your life isn't a blockbuster.

We’ve all been there. We're running a very old, very buggy piece of software. It’s the "Habitual Self." We've become masters of our own past.

I’ve been deep in this fantastic manual on change, and it nails this idea: your personality is your personal reality. How you think, how you act, and how you feel—that’s the whole formula. It’s a self-perpetuating cycle.

The real kicker? Research shows 90% of our thoughts are the same as the day before. That's not just a rut; it’s a canyon! We’ve wired our brains into a box, and worse, our bodies have gotten in on the act.

The body becomes the unconscious mind. It gets addicted to the familiar emotions. It’s a full-blown junkie for guilt, or unworthiness, or that "why is this happening to me?" feeling.

The moment you decide to change—to think a new thought or skip the old reaction—your body throws a fit. It’s the servant that became the master, and it bangs on the door of your mind demanding its usual chemical fix: "Start tomorrow! This is weird! You'll never change!"

This, my friend, is the "River of Change." It’s the void, the unknown. And it’s supposed to feel uncomfortable. It is the biological, chemical, and genetic death of the old you.

But this is where the magic is. Science is just the contemporary language of mysticism, after all. "Nerve cells that fire together, wire together." This means your brain is putty. You can be the sculptor.

Your thoughts are the electrical charge you send out; your feelings are the magnetic charge that draws things to you. You are a human broadcast tower, sending a signal to the great quantum field—the infinite "what if."

The question is, what signal are you broadcasting?

You can change the broadcast. You stop being defined by the past and start being defined by a vision of the future. The first step is awareness. You’re already doing it. The very fact that the more you read my emails, the more success you will have is a testament to your mind opening up. You are absorbing ideas that compound, building new circuits.

The tools for this are real. The "Open-Focus" technique gets you into the operating system. The "Change Meditation" is the practical how-to. It’s a two-part play: First, you unlearn the old self (surrendering that old, memorized emotion). Second, you create the new self (rehearsing who you want to be).

I’ll be breaking this down in future notes, and I know you will be grateful for having clicked the links in my email that detail this, because it’s the blueprint for creation.

The meditation is the practice, but your life is the application. Your job is to maintain that new state all day. Your life is your initiation. When you're challenged and don't react in the old way, you're reinforcing the new you. You're turning a memory into wisdom.

You are not a victim of the field. You are the creator of it.

If you had to name the "Old Self" you’re ready to fire, what would its job title be?

Yours in conscious creation,
