The meaning of "Your Core Assumtions Becomes Reality"

① Life Follows your "Assumptions" not your "Words"

Every day, people think and talk about many things.

  • They talk about dreams.

  • They speak about ideals.

  • They explain philosophies of success.

But what actually moves reality is not what you consciously think —
it is your unconscious assumption (belief).


Example:

  • If your assumption is, “I never end up going well for me,”

    → your actions, choices, and relationships will be built in alignment with that belief.

On the other hand,

  • If your assumption is,
    “I can always find a way,”
    or “It will work out anyway,”

    → even in the same situation, the outcome changes.

👉 Life executes your settings, not your statements.


② Why Core Assumptions Become Reality (Psychological Mechanism) 

■1. Cognitive Filter(RAS)

Humans only pick up information that matches their assumptions.
The brain gathers evidence.

  • Assumption: “There are opportunities.”→ You notice opportunities.

  • Assumption: “It’s dangerous.”→ You see only risks.

The world remains the same, but the reality you perceive changes.


■2. Unconscious Behavioral Design

Assumptions create subtle differences in behavior.

  • Tone of voice

  • Distance from others

  • The work you choose

  • Your ability to persist

More than dramatic effort, it is the accumulation of small daily choices that shapes the future.


■3. Reactions of Others (Self-Fulfilling Prophecy)

People sense your assumptions.

  • Assumption: “I have value.”→ You are more likely to be respected.

  • Assumption: “It’s probably impossible.”→ You are less likely to be trusted.

In other words, the world begins to respond according to your inner setting.


③ The Difference Between Those Who Talk and Those Who Realize

This is the most important part.


Talking StateCore Assumption Shifted State
 Explaining ideals  |Ideals feel natural

Seeing the future as a goal

|Treating the future as a premise
Not yet that person
|Already that kind of person
 

In the framework you often use:

👉 Desire → Goal → Action

But before that comes the assumption (self-definition).


④ Coaching Translation (very important)

This statement can actually be reframed as:

Life converges not toward the future you aim for, 

but toward the future you assume is natural

In other words

  • those whose dreams come true

  • those who experience synchronicity or attraction

are not different merely because of effort--

their core assumption is positioned in the future. 


⑤Practical Exercise

Use the following questions to uncover your core assumption:

🧭 Core Assumption Check

  1. Ultimately, what kind of person do I believe I become?

  2. What kind of future feels “inevitable” to me?

  3. What success am I unconsciously avoiding?

Your life blueprint lies here.


✨Summary

You do not live the future you talk about.

You quietly bring into reality the assumption you truly believe.


 

 


🔥 3 Habits to Rewrite your Core Assumptions


①The habit of "defining your future first"

〜The goal creates the assumption〜

Most people think like this:

👉 Reality → Action → Future

But those who rewrite their core assumption reverse it:

👉 Future → Assumption → Action → Reality

This aligns with Dr. Tomabechi and Dan Sullivan's future-oriented thinking. 

■ Why It Works

The unconscious mind is pulled not by the present,

but by the future with the strongest sense of vividness.

In other words:

  • If the future is just a “dream,” the assumption does not change.

  • If the future becomes a “predetermined path,” the assumption updates.


■ Practical Exercise

Rephrase this sentence every day:

Not "I am aiming to become 〇〇" but
"I a living as 
〇〇"

Example:

  • “I want to become a writer” → ❌

  • “I edit the world as a writer” → ⭕


② The Habit of "Updating Self-Definition, Not Roles"

〜Jungian: Remove the Mask and Change Your Being〜

People whose assumptions do not change try to change only their actions.

  • They change how they speak.

  • They add skills.

  • They study marketing.


    But those who rewrite their core assumption change this:

👉 "Who I am"

■ Essence

People do not follow roles.
They follow their self-narrative (identity).

So instead of being

  • “someone who wants success,”

  • become “someone for whom success is natural.”


This is deeper than the layer of:

  • Desire → Goal → Task

It is:

👉 Self-definition → Desire changes

■ Practical Exercise

Ask yourself:

"What kind of worldview do I live from"?

Not your title — but your core premise of existence.


③The habit of "stacking up small alignments"

〜The Brain Updates Assumptions Through Evidence〜

This part is extremely important.

Assumptions do not change through words.
They change through experiential evidence.

Which means:

  • You do not need big success.

  • You need small alignments.

Example:

New Assumption      Small Aligned Actions
I have influence    Deeply impact one person
I am an expressive creator     Post once daily
I am someone who createsCreate for 5 minutes

👉 Place a dot every day → It becomes a line.

This is exactly the mechanism of assumption updating.


🧭 When You Integrate All 3

The Forumula for Rewriting Your Core Assumptions

1️⃣ Decide the future first
2️⃣ Update your self-definition
3️⃣ Accumulate small aligned actions

Then,

🔥 Before your thoughts change,
your being shifts toward the future.


✨One Line

Reality is not changed by effort.
The moment your assumption changes, effort becomes natural movement.



🧭 5 Step Coaching to Rewrite Your Core Assumptions

STEP①|Make the current "Core assumption" visible

Before changing anything, first put your current assumption into words.

Most people skip this step.
But assumptions are unconscious —
and what cannot be seen cannot be changed.

Coaching Questions

  • “What kind of person do you ultimately believe you are?”

  • “How do you think life turns out in the end?”

  • “Deep down, how far do you feel you can actually go?”

⚠️ Don’t look for positive answers.
Look for unconscious limitations.


STEP ② | Design a New Assumption from the Future Side

The key here is not to create a goal.

What you create is not a goal, but
👉 an assumption of being.


STEP②|Design a New Assumption from the Future Side 

The key is here is to not create a goal yet. 

What you create here is not a goal, but 

👉 the premise of your way of being. 

Example:

❌ “I want to have influence.”
⭕ “I am someone who shifts people’s perspectives.”

Coaching Questions

  • “In a world where your ideal is naturally happening, who are you?”

    “What does your successful self consider ‘obvious’?”

This is very close to the realm of

future memory and goal-setting that you work with.


STEP③|Discover the Gap Between Old and New Assumptions

This is extremely important, even from a Jungian perspective.

The moment an assumption begins to change,
discomfort and resistance always appear.

That is not failure —
🔥 it is proof that the premise is beginning to crumble.

Questions

  • “Can you truly give yourself permission for that assumption?”

  • “What part still feels fake?”

Do not force positivity here.
Instead,

👉 Putting resistance into words = locating the boundary of the assumption.


STEP④|Design "Evidence-Creating Actions"

Assumptions do not change through thinking.

The brain updates self-definition only through

🧠experiential evidence.

So instead of setting large goals,

designsmall actions aligned with the new assumption.  

Example:

New Assumption | Evidence Action
“I am an expressive creator” | Write even 3 lines daily
“I am someone who guides” | Engage deeply with one person
“I am a creator” | Create for 5 minutes

This is exactly what you call
“placing a dot every day.”


STEP⑤|Make Assumption Language part of Daily Life

Finally, what matters is the design of language.

People reinforce assumptions through their own words.

So instead of:

❌ “Someday” / “I’m trying”

Use:

“I am operating as 〜”


「私は〜として動いている」

Example (for a speaker)

  • “I am pursuing my dream.” → 

  • "I design my dreams from the place where it's already a reality→ ⭕


🔥 The Essence of Coaching (Very Important)

Most coaching tries to 

👉 change behavior. 

But shifting assumptions 

👉shifts the "center of your being".  

When that shifts:

  • Behavior changes naturally

  • Effort feels lighter

  • Reality begins to catch up


🧭One Core Question

Here is a powerful question you can use:

"If that future were already decided, what would you naturally treat as obvious right now?"


✨Summary (short phrase)

Life does not change just because you try to change it. 

The world begins to shift the moment your assumptions (premises) do. 

 

 

 

This is how I understand it. 

 

Live as the person who has already become

 

LIfe converges not towards the future you are aiming for 

but towards "the future you know is inevitable."

 

〜〜〜〜〜 

Enlightenment used to be my goal. 

but now it began to shift towards harmony. 


I used to aim for transcendence, 

but now i'm aiming to live my mission. 


Let's gather harmony for the world.

  • When returning the ball, watch your opponent’s racket.

  • For a backhand, move forward from your core (belly button).

  • If your opponent hits at 70%, return it at 30%.

Zero-Second Thinking

1) (Conclusion)

The speaker, who has continued practicing “Zero-Second Thinking (1-minute memos)” almost daily for over five years, explains:

① What Zero-Second Thinking is ② The effects felt through continued practice ③ How to do it using an iPad (GoodNotes)

2) (Introduction)

  • During job hunting group discussions, the speaker was overwhelmed by a “logical, always-right monster.”
    Wanted to increase thinking speed. Discovered the book Zero-Second Thinking
    Turned it into a daily habit.

3) The "Correct Format" of Zero-Second Thinking Memos (Book Method) 

  • A4 paper + pen are recommended (the author says paper is important).

  • Place the paper horizontally.

  • Write the theme (headline) in the top left.

  • Write 4–6 bullet points (20–30 characters each) within 1 minute.

  • The standard routine is 10 sheets per day (10 themes).

  • If difficult at first, extend to 1 minute 30 seconds until accustomed — prioritize finishing.


4) 3 Effects Felt After Continuing

1. Faster Thinking Speed

The habit of thinking within a 1-minute limit carries over into daily life, making it easier to organize thoughts instantly.

2. Mental Clarity

Goal → Breakdown → Steps become visible.
Work processes become clearer and more structured.

3. Emotional Stability

Writing out worries like:

  • “What happens if this occurs?”

  • “What’s the countermeasure?”

reduces anxiety and clears mental fog.

Looking back at past memos helps realize:“That wasn’t such a big problem after all.”

※ The speaker notes that effects require several months of continued practice.

5) How to Practice on iPad(GoodNotes)

Tools Used: GoodNotes + Clock app stopwatch

Folder Structure:

  • Zero-Second Thinking folder
    → Year folder
    → Month folder
    → Daily notes

  • Use landscape orientation.

  • Lined template recommended (e.g., 6mm spacing), though default settings are fine.

  • Use Split View to display GoodNotes and the stopwatch side-by-side.Write while timing 1 minute.

  • After 1 minute, add a new page and repeat. Do this 10 times.

※ The speaker cautions that digital may not be 100% as effective as paper, but uses iPad for search and storage convenience.

6) What to do when you run out of ideas (3 solutions)

  1. As long as you complete 10 pages per day, it’s fine.
    (If you can’t do all 10 at once, split throughout the day.)

  2. Immediately output what you read in books as memo themes.

  3. Extract part of a previous memo and deepen it as a new theme.
    (This strengthens thinking ability.)

7) Final Message

  • Rather than starting with the iPad method immediately, it’s recommended to first understand the essence and correct format through the book, then adapt it.
