Most people think they believe things because they're true.
The reality is usually the opposite.
They think things are true because they already believe them.
That's called cognitive bias.
Truth doesn't always shape beliefs.
Beliefs shape what people accept as truth.
The fruit always reveals the root.
And the fruit will always match the seed.
Programming is a seed.
I used to think cold plunges were terrible.
Why?
Because the first time I got in, it hurt.
Then I learned about the benefits, endured the pain, and kept getting in anyway.
Eventually something changed.
The longer I stayed in, the more I liked it.
The better I felt afterward.
Nothing about the water changed.
I changed.
I replaced old programming with new programming.
How much of your life is being controlled by programming you never chose?
Your beliefs about money.
Relationships.
Success.
Failure.
Even yourself.
Before you can remove bad programming, you have to recognize it.
Guard your heart.
Be intentional about the words you speak and the words you allow into your mind.
Stop trying.
Either do it or don't.
Because today's seeds become tomorrow's harvest.
