If you’re not feeling fulfilled in your purpose, odds are you’ve been listening to the old recordings inside your mind—the ones that keep you incarcerated. As long as you keep replaying those messages, you’ll never be free, and your life’s true purpose will remain just out of reach.
My life began to change when I started challenging those recordings. Science confirms it: what your brain interprets as reality becomes your reality. But when you feed your brain new information—truth that contradicts the lies—you take the first step toward freedom.
It’s a long journey, and it doesn’t happen overnight. Your brain will resist, clinging to the status quo. Friends may even push back, because they’re living with the same old recordings. If you change, they may feel like they’ll have to change too—and that can be frightening.
Last week in New York City, I experienced a vivid example. After our longevity conference ended, those of us without immediate flights gathered to explore Times Square. I was the only American in the group. Listening to perspectives different from my own upbringing opened my eyes. Some questions they asked exposed my own old tape recordings—patterns I hadn’t even recognized.
In that moment, I realized how easy it is for entire communities—even whole nations—to be imprisoned by the same limiting stories. It can feel like a kind of mind matrix, where people don’t even realize the key to freedom is within reach.
So what’s the solution? Baby steps. Challenge your old recordings. Meditate. Pray. Write new scripts filled with truth and affirmation. Surround yourself with people already living in freedom. Stop being your own worst enemy—and start becoming your best friend.
Have a great day.

"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." — Romans 12:2
Captain’s Log Addendum
Captain’s Log, supplemental:
Today’s mission brought me face-to-face with an uncomfortable reality: the prisons we carry are often invisible, built not of stone, but of thought.
From the science station, Spock reports: “Captain, the evidence is conclusive. Neural pathways reinforced by repetition become difficult to alter. However, logic suggests that with consistent input of new data, the brain can be rewired. Transformation, though improbable in the short term, is entirely possible.”
Bones, leaning against the bulkhead, adds: “Spock, you can dress it up in science all you want, but the truth is simple. People are hurting because they believe lies about themselves. What they need is someone to remind them they’re worth fighting for—and maybe give them a good kick in the pants.”
Both voices ring true. We need both logic and compassion. The science shows the way forward, but the heart gives us courage to take the first step. Today, I choose to write a new story.
End log.
