The Power of Awareness
Neville taught that you do not change your life by fighting circumstances.
You change it by changing the state you are aware of being in.
By Day 8, awareness is no longer about watching thoughts pass.
It is about recognizing who you are being aware as.
Every moment, you are occupying a state —
the one who waits, the one who hopes, the one who struggles,
or the one who already is.
Awareness is the moment you catch yourself saying internally:
“This is who I’m assuming myself to be right now.”
And the instant you see the state, you are no longer trapped in it.
Neville called this freedom the moment you “withdraw attention from the unwanted and give it to the fulfilled.”
Not by force.
Not by repetition.
But by quiet recognition.
You don’t need to fix the state.
You only need to stop consenting to it.
Awareness is the doorway where identity shifts —
from reacting to life
to selecting the self you live from.
So today, notice gently:
When you think about your desire…
who are you aware of being?
The one who is still waiting for it —
or the one for whom it is already normal?
That answer tells you everything.
