The ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus observed that you cannot step into the same river twice — not because the river changes, but because *you* do too. On a Sunday, when routines pause and the week feels like a blank slate, this is worth sitting with: the 'you' who begins this week is genuinely not the same person who ended last week. Neuroscience corroborates this — memory reconsolidation means even your recollections are subtly rewritten each time you access them. Rather than treating yourself as a fixed object to be managed, Heraclitus invites you to see yourself as a process, always in motion — which means your perceived limitations are not permanent features of the landscape.

Where in your life are you treating a temporary state — a habit, a relationship, a belief about yourself — as though it were a permanent, unchangeable fact?
