There Is No Spoon

“There is no spoon.”

One of the most famous lines from The Matrix.

Most people think it’s about bending metal – It isn’t.
It’s about bending reality.

Think about it…
Two people lose their jobs.
One says, “My life is over.”
The other says, “This is the opportunity I’ve been waiting for.”
Who is right?

Both of them.
Because neither is reacting to reality.
They’re reacting to the reality they have created inside their own minds.

When you were a child did your parents ever say you lived in a world of your own?
They were right – not realising of course that so were they!
We don’t live in the world.
We live in our version of the world.

Your beliefs become your filters.
Your filters become your thoughts.
Your thoughts become your choices.
Your choices become your life.
 
Here’s the wonderful news…
If you’ve invented one reality, you can invent another.
A reality filled with possibility instead of fear.
Curiosity instead of certainty.
Hope instead of limitation.

So today, question everything you believe to be true.
Especially the things you’ve believed for years.
Because perhaps the biggest illusion isn’t the spoon…
It’s the person you think you are.
And if that’s true…

Imagine who you could become.

Or even more powerfully, imagine how amazing you already are

With my love and best wishes to you
