I recently watched the new Superman movie, and one moment stood out to me — when Clark Kent questions his identity, and Jonathan Kent reminds him: “Your choices. Your actions. That’s what makes you who you are.” It made me think of the ideas I’d just been reading in positive psychology: how our past doesn’t define our happiness, but our present mindset and agency do. In this episode, we explore why even Superman isn’t immune to self-doubt, and how reclaiming your choices opens the door to authentic flow.

✅ Key Takeaways:

✔ Your choices, not your past, define who you are.

✔ Even Superman wrestles with identity and agency.

✔ Flow happens when you live from presence, not autopilot.

✔ Cognitive reframing helps break old mental loops.

✔ True strength is aligning action with meaning, here and now.
