Because maybe this new thing that I'm wanting is a stripe that I've never seen.

And if I've never seen it and it's not familiar to my brain, it could be right in front of my face and I wouldn't be able to capitalize on that opportunity or I wouldn't even be able to maybe even necessarily notice it.

I might not even notice it.

And so, yeah, I think that all of this together kind of just really had me start to really think about, OK, wow, my brain is really constructing my entire experience of reality.

And if that's true, I remember when I first told my grandma about this and she was terrified.

She was like, well, that's scary.

And so I kind of was the kitten everywhere.

And I was like, okay, I need to, you know, show myself a lot of new things.

But one specific sort of

example is around abundance and money.

I mean, I grew up hearing, you know, money doesn't grow on trees and different phrases like that.
