What if your morning coffee had commitment issues?
Hot and iced, both at once. Undecided, until you decide.
That’s not just today’s vibe. It’s how your brain and your universe actually behave.
Your brain doesn’t passively receive reality. It predicts it. It guesses what comes next, then reshapes what you see, hear, and feel to match that expectation.
Neuroscientists call this predictive coding.
Marketers call it positioning.
Storytellers?
They call it the power behind everything.
If your brain expects rejection, it filters for it.
If it expects connection, it finds the invitation.
What you experience isn’t a recording.
It’s a remix, shaped by your internal narrative.
And light? It plays by eerily similar rules.
At the quantum level, light travels like a wave. But observe it, and it snaps into a particle. Just watching forces it to choose.
In both cases, reality shifts in response to the observer. Not randomly, but relationally. Not instantly, but predictably.
So what happens when you shift your lens?
You don’t just interpret reality. You start to influence it.
This isn’t wishful thinking. It’s how the universe and our brains are wired. And when we understand it, we can use it intentionally.
So try this today:
1. Choose one belief that supports who you want to become.
2. Design one small test that might prove it true.
3. Let your brain do what it does best: confirm your expectation.
That’s how small shifts compound. That’s how momentum builds. That’s how perception becomes performance.
You’re not sipping coffee anymore. You’re sipping potential.
And this morning, you get to choose the flavor.
