(Principles are basic truths that, when applied, cause success to come to you more easily and more quickly.)
Consider these two arrangements of the same words:
Everything is different now.
and
Everything is different. Now…
The first is a statement that can lay pretty flat. It’s rarely used as a positive expectation. It may be a lament about a loss or a perceived loss.
The second arrangement is a place of strength. First by seeing with clarity, owning and accepting What-Is-So. Not liking or preferring it but being present to the truth of it. A trait of highly successful people is their strong desire to know the truth in all situations.
Then by standing in that truth, you can lean into what is possible going forward. [Say that one-word sentence to yourself right now – with uplifting energy: “Now…”]. Notice how it creates space for possibility. The opportunity to look forward, where fresh outcomes occur.
The resigned energy of “everything is different now” can have a woe-is-me nature. It can drag you down. Maybe even stop progress.
On the other hand, “Now…” initiates action.
Coaching Point: Is something recently different in your life?
