The second chance
“Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.”
– Carl Bard
The secret to making radical change is to imagine every day as your second chance.
Most of the time we go through life on autopilot.
It’s hard to do things differently when we don’t even know we’re stuck inside a pattern.
But imagine this…
What if there was a way to make decisions without any emotional baggage attached?
There is a way!
Ask yourself the question: “What would I do if this was my second chance?”
Imagine you’ve just been given a fresh start in life. You have no ties, no relationships, no one who knows you. Get deep into that ‘second chance’ frame of mind.
How would you act differently?
What would you prioritize?
What would you change?
Take this wider perspective and you’ll be amazed with what your mind comes up with.
It will signpost you towards whatever changes you need 🙂
