Wednesday's BOLD LAW is " Things are not always as they appear to be " & something a Coach told me a long time ago that helped me...

Things are not always how they appear to be.

Sometime back in 2007 - 2008  during the last real estate crash , like a lot of folks , I was really struggling on many fronts. The real estate market was in the tank , my business was down , finances were very low , we were facing losing investment homes we had , and obviously, there were troubles at home too....not much fun for anyone.

My coach at the time, Ron Patulski said, " You know Donno , things can change in the blink of an eye ! " Now, I did not know what he meant because , up until that time, I had always thought of that saying as ONLY a negative one. As in , when things are going great , you better be thankful for it , because it can all be taken away from you in a heartbeat. 

Ron helped me see that that statement is a two way street and it can go both ways ! When you are fighting more than one battle on many fronts and things seem pretty bleak, things can change in the blink of an eye to the POSITIVE side too ! One phone call, one chance meeting, one stroke of luck, one person, or any number of occurrences , can begin to turn the tide in your favor. 

But, we have to put ourselves in that position every day to take advantage of an opportunity when it presents itself. If we are down and not thinking about this BOLD LAW  , if we are convinced that this is the way it always is , and it's never going to change , then we won't see the opportunity to change things in the blink of an eye ! 

We must always allow for the possibility that things are not always as they appear to be , because they are not ! Go get 'em today on Wednesday!

Oh, and thank you Ron !
