So...What's Changed?


It's easy to let things get on top of you when a few things (one after the other) don't seem to go your way.

Whether you may like it or not...your mind starts chattering away...desperately trying to 'complete the picture'...and make you out as a TOTAL 'failure'.

Your mind is constantly searching for a 'result'...constantly looking to 'complete the picture' that you present to it.

So...isn't it any wonder that, when a couple of things go wrong back-to-back...it starts telling you that it's ALWAYS going to be like that in future.

It's not.

Definitely. 100%

NOT!

I've got into the habit of looking at how I interpret the 'setbacks' that happen in my life.

Your 'world' could change in an instant if you receive an email or phone call that goes against what you thought was an amazing idea, for example.

So...stop and ask yourself - "What's changed?"

Sure...you now might have the opinion of one (or more) people that doesn't necessarily agree with yours

You now have more INFORMATION than you did...but does that mean that the thing you were really excited and motivated about has changed in ANY way?

Nope. It's just that, because you've got some feedback that didn't agree with what you were thinking...all of those amazing ideas will come to nothing?

Now...I'm not saying that you should completely disregard other peoples' opinions. In my business, for example, that's valuable feedback.

No...what I am saying is, try to stop your EMOTIONS from getting in the way of clear thinking.

The wheels of many of the best ideas of the future have surely come off because of an offhand remark by a friend or relative...I'm absolutely sure of that.

So...always make sure that, when you find out something (or that someone) doesn't agree with your opinion or idea...just ask yourself...

"What's changed?"
