One of the first things I teach people when they first come to me is that there's a difference

between circumstances and facts and stories or thoughts. Those two things are different, facts

and thoughts. And when we just slow down for just a minute and think about it, it's not even hard

to distinguish the difference. And the reason this is so powerful is because you realize suddenly

that a lot of what you've been believing

or operating by or the lens by which you've been viewing the world is optional. It's moldable,

and it is making a difference. And so we always want to separate those two things out.

But sometimes what happens when I'm helping the client to do this is

they discover that, yes, this is a thought, but it's a true thought, they'll tell me. And I will even

agree with them. It's true or it could be true. And then they say to me, but what if it's true?

Or they'll ask questions like, but am I just being delusional by ignoring this

thought, even though they categorize it as thought? Or trying to think and believe a different

thought, isn't that delusional? We're going to dive into all of that today because the answer

might surprise you and it will further empower you beyond the basics. This is episode 510. It's just a thought,

but what if it's true? Welcome to Better Than Happy, the podcast where we transform our lives

by transforming ourselves. My name is Jody Moore.

In the decade plus, I've been working with clients as a master certified coach.

I've helped tens of thousands of people to become empowered.

And from empowered, the things that seemed hard become trivial.

And the things that seemed impossible become available. And suddenly a whole new

world of desire and possibility open up to you. And what do you do with that? Well, that's the question.

What will you do? Let's find out.
