Are You Living Someone Else’s Programming

Published 2025-08-25 08-51
Summary
Your brain filters reality through subconscious programming you never chose. Most people live on autopilot, but you can reprogram that filter to create your own reality.
The story
Ever wonder why two people can look at the exact same situation and see completely different realities?
Your subconscious mind is constantly filtering millions of bits of information, deciding what gets through to your conscious awareness. It’s like having a personal editor running 24/7 – but you never hired this editor or gave them instructions.
Most people let their subconscious run on autopilot, shaped by random experiences and cultural programming. You end up living someone else’s script without even knowing it.
But here’s where it gets interesting. Your brain can’t tell the difference between a vividly imagined experience and reality. When you visualize something in detail, you’re literally rewiring your neural pathways and reprogramming that subconscious filter.
Think about it – every successful person you admire had to first see their success in their mind before it existed in reality. They didn’t just hope for it. They programmed their subconscious to recognize and create opportunities.
The real journey isn’t about finding yourself – it’s about consciously creating yourself. It’s moving from being a product of your environment to becoming the architect of your own reality.
Most people wait for permission to become who they want to be. But permission comes from within, from taking control of that subconscious programming and directing it toward your authentic vision.
Your mind is either working for you or against you. There’s no neutral. The question is: are you going to let random programming run your life, or are you going to take conscious control?
In Chapter 6 of “The Journey,” I break down exactly how this transformation happens.
