It’s not a new concept. We live our lives by the script inside our head, usually completely unaware of it, assuming the script is simply who we are. But it’s not, really. Re-writing the script is difficult. Aside from an incredible amount of self-awareness, it involves holding each belief up to the light, examining it [...]
