our life is 100% the result of decisions we believe we make

however we don't actually make any decisions - the decisions are made by molecules in our brain and we simply become aware of these decisions and tell ourselves that we made those decisions because it feels like we did

but we didn't

we are actually just observing ourselves act like watching a movie in which we ourselves are the stars

This *can* be true if your define yourself narrowly. I define myself more broadly, so I am making the decisions, not just watching them.

i believe this was studied and determined that the actual moment decision is made precedes the moment when people become aware of the decision.

meaning your consciousness is the catcher and not the pitcher.

decision is made subconsciously and you later become aware of it consciously but believe that the decision was conscious.
