219: Everything is working FOR me

On today’s episode I talk about a firmly held belief I have and why it can benefit you if you have it too! Transcript: Welcome to The Art of Living big podcast. My name is Betsy Pake, and I’m an author, speaker and a master mindset coach focused on helping you understand and design your life with the power of your subconscious. This podcast is designed to help you think differently about what could be possible for your life. Now, let’s go live bag. Good morning fellow adventurers. Welcome to today’s show. So it’s like weird times again, right? I feel like things are starting to ramp back up with the Coronavirus. And, you know, we’re we’re being asked to wear masks everywhere. And staying at home again. And it sort of looks like you know, a lot of that will be will be ramping up even more in different states. You know, this past week, I was supposed to go to LA. I don’t know, if you’ve listened to the show for a while. You may remember that I left for LA at the end of February and was supposed to be there for like three and a half weeks. And I was there for some training. And while I was there is when everything started to happen with the Coronavirus. Like when I left my house. I knew about it. But it was very like one person I think they had it and you know, everything was still open March Madness, basketball was still going on, like all of that stuff.

Maybe it was something that you thought would be simple or a relationship that you thought was amazing. And then after a couple months, it just was so much work and you were like what is going on? Right? Maybe it was that you lost a job that you didn’t expect to lose, like whatever it is, I have a belief. And it’s a really strong belief. And it may not be a belief that you have, but I wanted to share it with you because I believe that this belief empowers me to take control of things happening in my life. And to move forward in a way that gets me an outcome that’s more desirable. I think there’s two ways to deal with things, there’s probably three ways to deal with things, right, something happens and we’re like, oh my god, and it just stops us and holds us and maybe depresses us. And I have certainly had times like that where things have happened in my life, where it felt like it just completely derailed me. And maybe honestly, looking back,
