The decision that changes everything.
How to reframe your mind, repurpose your beliefs, and replace what holds you back.
Live in a Friendly Universe
Every morning you make the most powerful decision of your life—
whether to live in a friendly universe or a hostile one.
That question changes how you think, speak, work, and love.
It’s not philosophy. It’s practice.
Choose Your Universe is a conversation about change, design, and trust—
how to stop trying to erase who you were,
and start replacing what no longer serves you.
About the Book
Choose Your Universe: The Decision That Changes Everything
by Alonso Rivel
“The universe is change; our life is what our thoughts make it.”
— Marcus Aurelius
This line started it all.
It grew into a framework for modern life—
a way to debug the mind, refactor old beliefs,
and build emotional architecture you can trust.
It’s not a self-help manual.
It’s a conversation with yourself that finally feels honest.

This isn’t just a book. It’s a daily decision—
a way to replace panic with clarity, resistance with flow, and fear with trust.
Each week, I share short reflections and tools
to help you practice the Friendly Universe Decision in real life.
You can’t erase the past.
But you can replace what it means.
