All you had to do was see it for yourself.

Until that moment all you could do was hop. And then you had an insight. You saw something to be true that you’d never seen before.

You didn’t need to create affirmations and stick them on your mirror to remind you: Do not hop, you are a walker now. You didn’t need to practise walking. All those how-to-hop-faster books on your shelf look unnecessary and you feel compassion for those you see around you hopping, doing the best they can with no idea that there’s any such thing as a left leg.

Do you forget and find yourself hopping from time to time? Sure. Me, too. But once we see there’s a left leg we never truly forget, and we wake up to the fact of what’s true faster and faster each time.

In other words, change happens through insight, through seeing something that we’ve never thought before. Through realization, something becomes real for you.

The idea that you don’t have to think anything about anything is a neat idea. But when you have an insight, and see the truth of it for yourself, that realization changes everything.

You know that moment when you realized that Santa didn’t exist? One day you just knew. You’d heard rumours, your older brother had told you over and over again and, although you suspected he might be right, you still weren’t sure. And then one day, you probably can’t even remember when, you just realized the truth.

There wasn’t necessarily anything you did, you just realized. And the next year, you didn’t put carrots out for the reindeer or a glass of whisky for Santa; you found yourself sleeping through on Christmas Eve instead of staying up all night hoping to catch a peek. You didn’t have to white-knuckle your way through that night, you didn’t have to examine your past or practise any positive affirmations – you realized the truth and your behaviour just changed all on its own. A shift upstream that changes everything downstream.
