Have you ever said to a friend, relative, or coworker that he or she, "always does this". Perhaps you've muttered to yourself, "this happens every single time". We may get a sense of Déjà vu but in reality the exact circumstances surrounding an event never repeat the same way every time.
Our lives may settle into a pattern of "stability" where things are seemingly predictable. However, every day changes occur in the various systems that make up the world in which we live. The good thing about this constant state of change is that even undesirable situations aren't permanent.
So the next time you dread a repeated misfortune or sense that inevitable failure, try to identify what is different this time around. That sensation you get that a negative situation is repeating itself is a cue to try a new strategy not a time for despair. Resources may be different this time around. You might now be acquainted with an expert who can help you solve your particular problem. Perhaps you now have the opportunity to apply a new skill that can address the issue. Likely, there are strategies and resources you haven't considered.
At Focus C3 we use the Focus model to identify resources and strategies with our clients that help them advance in life, business, and relationships. Find out more about taking the first step toward building your arsenal of strategies on our website.
