It is a choice—one of the quietest yet most powerful choices we make each day—to select a movie of substance. To care about what we watch. To care about how it shapes our thoughts, our imagination, and the vision we carry for the world.

Awareness transforms everything. When awareness is active, you begin to understand that what enters your mind does not simply pass through—it plants, it grows, it influences. It becomes part of your inner landscape.

I love the simple joy of settling in for a movie: a warm blanket, a bowl of popcorn, a moment to unwind. But the moment I begin scrolling through the endless sea of options, something inside me pauses. Out of thousands of apps and platforms, the overwhelming majority of films revolve around killing, murder investigations, trials, violence, and destruction. The categories are endless—drama, mystery, horror, romance—but so few offer anything that uplifts the human spirit or expands the human mind.

Where are the stories that transform behavior? Where are the narratives that inspire ingenuity, compassion, unity, or hope? Where is the creativity that elevates consciousness rather than numbs it?

It makes me wonder about the minds behind the content—the producers, the writers, the creators. What vision guides them? What intention fuels their work? Do they see themselves as architects of culture? Do they understand the influence they hold over the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors of millions?

Because media is not neutral. It shapes how we think. It shapes how we feel. It shapes how we treat one another.

And when the dominant stories are rooted in violence, betrayal, and fear, the subconscious absorbs those patterns. The mind rehearses them. Society reflects them.

This is not entertainment without consequence. This is conditioning.

For me, it feels like a quiet demise—a slow erosion of imagination, empathy, and vision. I find myself asking: Where are the thinkers? Where are the creators with courage, innovation, and purpose? Where are the storytellers who want to heal the world rather than mirror its wounds?

I care deeply about what I allow into my mind, because I understand that my subconscious is always listening. Always shaping. Always creating from what it receives.

And so I choose differently. I choose intentionally. I choose content that nourishes rather than depletes, that awakens rather than numbs, that builds rather than destroys.

This is not just about movies. This is about responsibility. This is about accountability. This is about love.

If we want a better world, we must become better gatekeepers of what we consume. We must demand stories that elevate humanity. We must support creators who dare to imagine something higher. And we must refuse to feed the systems that profit from our desensitization.

Change begins with a single choice— the choice to care about what shapes the mind.

And when enough of us choose consciously, the world will have no choice but to follow.
