It seems logical. It seems so true that when this thing – whatever it is – changes, life will be better but it won’t. You will still be you with your same old lousy story. (Unless of course – you are doing personal growth work to upgrade your story.)

I talked with a client recently who had tripled her income. But guess what? Her old stories were still there about how she’s bad and wrong because she’s not doing very well in her business. So instead of feeling good about herself and celebrating the tremendous progress that she has made, she was beating herself up and still getting to be bad. This is not a happiness strategy.

The much more useful thinking pattern is to remember that where we are right now is already good and then be curious about how it can get even better.

Much love,
