Reality isn't what you think it is. Reality is what you expect. There is no right or wrong, no good or bad, there is only your perception. Reality shows you what you expect to see. If you expect to earn love, money, rest, than life is one big test. If you expect to feel free, to receive money easily, than this is what you're life will look like. Reality bends. And you are the creator.

Hey my love,

What if most of what you think is real,

Isn't?

What if the rules you're following,

About success,

About timing,

About who you're supposed to be,

Were never actually true?

What if the stories that tell you you're behind,

Not enough,

Not ready,

Not good yet,

Were just borrowed noise?

I want you to feel something with me for a moment.

First,

Reality is not fixed.

Reality is fluid.

It bends around your beliefs.

It reflects your frequency.

It rearranges itself around what you expect to see.

So if you're always expecting disappointment,

Of course it shows up.

If you're always waiting to be chosen,

You keep finding places that overlook you.

If you live in the mindset that you have to earn rest,

Earn love,

Earn freedom,

Then life becomes one big task.

But what if that's not how it works?

What if the moment you shift your perspective,

You shift the world around you?

Not because you're faking it,

Not because you're bypassing the hard stuff,

But because you're finally ready to let go of the lens that was never yours.

You don't see life as it is.

You see life as you are.

So today,

Question what you are calling true.

Is it your truth or someone else's expectation?

Because the real power lives in remembering that everything you see out there,

The pace,

The pressure,

The perfection,

Is just one layer of the game.

And underneath it,

There is silence.

There is spaciousness.

There is you.

You,

The creator,

The observer.

You,

The one who gets to decide what reality feels like in your body.

So slow down today and ask yourself,

What lens am I seeing through right now?

And then choose again.

Because you can.

Nothing is what it seems.

And that's the gift.

You are freer than you think.

Yes, yes, yes!!! I agree, we trap ourselves in our own mind with our own thoughts. I am Shining Light onto those limiting beliefs that I have in my mind. I'm realizing the illusions and trying to break free from them. I love these daily messages and look forward to them in my mornings!

What is is not what is but what we see to be what is. We take that leap in perception and all the world is transformed. With the speed of a thought, everything changes. With the flutter of a heartbeat, life rearranges.
