Truth or Narrative?
Dec 01, 2025Who remembers having to write and deliver a speech in Grade 5?
Back then, you rehearsed it the same way we all learned anything important: by repetition.
Read it. Say it out loud. Practice in the mirror. Do it again.
Same with learning the lyrics to your favourite song—
you didn’t “study” it… you repeated it until it lived in you.
Repetition is the first law of learning.
But here’s the part we rarely talk about:
It’s not just what you repeat intentionally that shapes you—it’s what you repeat unconsciously.
And today, with everyone busy and technology delivering answers faster than we can think, most people don’t get beyond the headlines. They accept whatever is repeated the most, not whatever is truest, healthiest, or even logical.
We saw it with the “Chinese air balloons” story.
A label was slapped on, repeated enough times, and people accepted it without ever asking if the label was even credible.
We saw it during COVID:
“Wear a mask—save lives.”
It was repeated so often it became scripture, even though the blue masks stopped almost nothing. People inhaled more CO₂, starved their brains of oxygen, and breathed in the chemicals embedded in the material.
But the repetition worked.
Most didn’t research.
Most didn’t question.
Most just complied.
So, here’s a question:
What repeated narrative, label, or belief has crept into your thinking simply because you’ve heard it often enough?
What “truths” are actually just slogans? What “facts” are actually just headlines? More importantly, what is shaping YOU, truth or narratives?
Aha! ~ If you’re not choosing what you repeat, someone else is choosing what you believe.
The brain is wired for safety, and safety looks like familiarity.
When something is repeated often enough—even if it’s untrue, unhealthy, or manipulative— the brain immediately starts labeling it as “safe” without question.
This is why repeated messaging feels comfortable and questioning feels uncomfortable but it’s truth that your soul desires.
Your life, your mind, and your freedom deserve more than comfortable repetition. They deserve conscious repetition—truths, practices, ideas, and habits you choose because they build you, not dull you.
We feared standing up to give that Grade 5 speech—but standing up to the narratives we’ve repeated without thinking takes far more courage. Be the lion, not the echo.
Bob Proctor used to say it’s not whether or not you’re worthy of your goal but if your goal is worthy of you. What are you trading your life for? Are false narratives holding you back? We speak “truth” in Human U. Join us.
