Who you believe you are determines the life that you live and both science and ancient wisdom stand behind this. Your brain shapes your future in two main ways, what you allow yourself to imagine and what you're able to actually act on. Neuroscience shows the future you can picture for yourself what is directly tied to your identity. The same network in your brain processes your

sense of self. It is also the system that imagines your future. Your self-concept doesn't just influence your goals. It determines what your mind even permits you to dream. If you can't imagine a beautiful future for yourself, your system won't help you create it. Kabbalah teaches the same principle in a different language. Consciousness comes before creation. That reality follows

identity. And then there's action. When a goal is out of alignment with your identity, your system, that's when it'll resist it. That's when people procrastinate. That's when you self-sabotage or you simply quit. This is why identity is actually destiny and why shifting how you see yourself is always quite literally always the first step.
