Magical Life Fixes – Blog 684 by Shawn Anderson
Magical life fixes are simple shifts in mindset or action that can create powerful change. In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to feel stuck or uninspired. However, sometimes one new idea is all it takes to turn things around. That’s what this post is about.
For example, if you’ve ever had a moment where your entire day changed because of one small thought, then you’ll understand the value of what’s shared here. Shawn Anderson delivers an inspiring perspective that may just be the magical life fix you’ve been needing.

The number was in my phone.
I knew who was calling.
I answered.
______
I had last talked to her three months ago.
Back then…
We had created a 3-part specific plan to get her life out of a funk.
She was excited when our call had ended.
This time, however…
She was the opposite of excited.
She was doing her best not to cry.
______
She caught me up.
“My life’s the same. I’m angry and frustrated, and things are not better.”
She walked me through her life…today.
I took her back to the conversation we had…three months ago.
I asked, “Did you work the plan we created to change things?”
She said, “No.”
I was hit with a wave of frustration.
I asked despairingly, “Why not?”
She started listing excuses.
I continued, “Then why would you expect to BE in a different place…now? Why would you expect your life to change when you DON’T?”
______
Experience has taught me this…
There’s no such thing as a magical life fix.
Unless we choose to be the magician.
If we expect our lives to change into GREAT when we add ZEROS to it…
Then we are masterfully deceiving ourselves.
If we’re doing zero about our lousy relationship…
If we’re doing zero about our faltering success…
If we’re doing zero about our uninspiring job…
If we’re doing zero about our weak finances…
If we’re doing zero about our fading health…
EXCEPT whine and complain…
Then we are where we are because of us.
______
In looking at our individual lives, I end with two questions:
1. Will we continue to complain or choose to change?
2. Why do the first, if we lie to ourselves about the second?
