It’s straightforward to see reality as something just handed to us.

If our parents were abusive, alcoholics, or addicts, it’s straightforward and natural for people to think that’s just the world they were born in. They’re just unlucky. That’s just the way things are. Life is a giant lottery, and guess what? They ended up being handed the losing ticket. Talk about a very weak and self-defeating mindset.

The sad reality is that most people believe this at some level. They won’t say it to your face in the exact words I used, but they will use something similar. They basically will tell you that the reality is what it is. What you see is what you get. You’re stuck with the reality that you have, and guess what? That reality is the same for everybody else. This is an objective fact.

What if I told you that’s wrong? What if I told you that two people looking at the same set of facts can walk away with two interpretations? They’re still dealing with the same objective reality. How come they have different interpretations?

Upon seeing a nice-looking Ferrari, what if one person said, “There’s no way I can afford that. I’m too poor.

My parents are poor. Everybody I know is poor. Life sucks! The rich are getting richer; the poor are getting poorer. My lot in life is simply to watch all the lucky people get life’s rewards.” Sounds pretty damning. Sounds like a pretty realistic assessment of his life.

What if I told you another person looked at the same thing but said, “How can I afford that Ferrari?

This person did not condemn themself for not getting the Ferrari. Instead, this person asked a question. Put in another way, the person is asking, “How can I work with what I have and the problem-solving capabilities that I was born with to get this thing?

Could you tell me how I do this? What do I have to go through?

What things do I need to build? What process do I have to go through? What kind of person do I have to become?”

When you ask those questions, things are possible because they tap into your unlimited human imagination, resources, and creativity. It’s all in your head. This is how we edit our reality because when we adopt certain mindsets, we condemn ourselves to certain realities. No amount of sweet-talking, counterexamples, or pep talks will make those people change their minds because they think that reality is the way it is.

No, it’s more changeable than you care to realize and it all begins with an active choice. It’s all about your mindset. Choose your mindset and you end up choosing your reality. That’s how powerful your mind is. It can bend and edit reality.
