Having the new You reaching back and taking the old You by the hand and leading yourself out of the wilderness into the sunshine sounds really nice. It sounds so good it sounds almost like a fairy tale told to children. All the fairy tales in the world can not change one problem into a something else. Only the new You can make that change.
The old you was trapped in a life that no one, not even the old you wanted to live. It consisted of problems, despair and want. It was a life lived on a wasteland with no way out and no hope of making it better.
The New You reaching back and taking the Old You by the hand is going to change all that. The New You understands that life is made of choices and possibilities. The New You knows that making the same old choices does not create any new possibilities. The New You knows there are other ways to manage life, other choices to be made, and other ways to solve problems and make situations better.
The New You is open to fresh new choices and other possibilities. After all, looking around with new eyes it is possible to see that other people have problems in their lives too, but they manage their problems differently. The New You sees that there are other choices to be made, and the New You wants to explore those choices, and see what changes they make in the life of the Old You.
The New You knows that all the changes and fixes to bring the Old You out of your old life have always been there, the Old You was too busy doing everything the same way and expecting things to change. The New You knows that changing the way problems are handled will bring about new choices, and new choices bring about new opportunity.
The New You watches to see how others successfully manage the same problems the Old You can not manage. The New You knows they do not have all the answers, so copying the way other people manage life problems the Old You is struggling with will make those problems go away eventually.
The New You is eager to try new things, and see the world in a new way. The New You is going to be successful, because the New You has already done the hardest part of making life better for the Old You. The New You is taking their best friend by the hand and leading them into a new world the Old You never stopped long enough to look at.
The New You is not afraid of taking a risk, working towards a goal, and knowing that a quick fix is impossible. The New You is going to put in the time and work to make a better world for the Old You. The New You wants to lead you to a better life. All the Old You has to do is reach out and accept their hand.
The New You knows how to be a leader, how to be manager, how to plan for the future, and how to be your best friend. The New You wants a better life for the Old You. Are you willing to take the hand the New You is offering and start living a new life? The hardest part of taking the hand of the New You is accepting what you are doing is not working, and letting the New You show you what is possible for your life.
