Most people wait to see before they believe.

But what if believing is what allows us to see at all?

In this episode of The Daily Morningcast, we explore the quiet truth behind Roald Dahl’s reminder:

“Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.”


Through the lens of The LEGO Movie, we’ll rediscover how imagination and belief can rebuild the way we experience life. Emmet’s world begins as gray, predictable, and perfectly ordinary — until he dares to believe. That belief doesn’t change the bricks around him; it changes how he sees them.

Belief, it turns out, isn’t blind. It’s visionary.

It’s what transforms routines into rituals, repetition into rhythm, and the ordinary into something extraordinary.

In this 5 minute reflection, you’ll learn how:

  • Belief shapes perception — and how the Stoics understood this long before science confirmed it.
  • Curiosity rewires the brain, unlocking creativity and optimism.
  • Imagination acts as a builder’s tool, allowing you to create meaning from the same raw materials of everyday life.
  • Small acts of awareness — a smile, a sunrise, a sound — can bring magic back into your day.

This is a story about rediscovering wonder, rebuilding faith in what’s possible, and learning to see again — not with your eyes, but with your heart.

Because when you believe, you start to build.

And when you build, you start to see.
