This episode came to me in the quiet hours of the morning, the kind of 3:30 a.m. wake up that feels less like insomnia and more like an invitation to listen. A voice in my head guided me to explore a pattern many of us (including me) don’t realize we’re stuck in, letting our preconceived ideas create our future. Something that traps us in a loop of recreating the same version of ourselves and others over and over again, without allowing for change.

If we see ourselves and others as fundamentally flawed, then they (and we) can never be anything but that. Our perception informs the field of potential, and we hold on so tightly to the way we think the world is that we don’t allow it to be any other way.

This “divine download” taught me that each moment offers us the opportunity to let go of old perceptions and tell a new story, to allow what is to simply be, without judgment or prediction. Once we embrace the idea that each moment gives us the chance to create a new version of ourselves, we can begin informing the field, through our thoughts and self concept, how we want the future to unfold.

If you’ve been feeling frustrated about not being able to change something, or someone, in your life, this episode goes deep into why that happens and what actually allows change to occur.
