The Mind Wants to Be Right More Than It Wants to Be Free
This truth changes everything once you finally see it
You ever notice how certain patterns just won’t quit?
Different people, different jobs, different chapters—but somehow, the same emotional themes keep showing up. The same dilemmas. The same ache. The same sense of being stuck, even when everything around you looks different.
And maybe you've told yourself, “I’m done with that,” more than once. Maybe you’ve done the work, read the books, set the boundaries, said the affirmations. You’ve consciously chosen different. But still, somehow, it’s like life has you on repeat—quietly looping the same story underneath whatever’s new on the surface.
It’s maddening. Because you want better. You mean better. And yet, here you are, again.
There’s a reason for that. One most of us don’t see—not because we’re not smart or self-aware, but because it hides in plain sight. It’s quiet, familiar, and convincing. And if you don’t know what you’re looking for, you’ll never think to question it.
But once you do... things start to shift in a way they never have before.
The Mind Doesn’t Want Better. It Wants Familiar.
Most of us like to believe we’re chasing happiness. Peace. Safety. Love that feels good. And maybe consciously, we are.
