Why most people don’t ask for miracles… and what separates wishers from receivers.
Most people want something better, but they rarely ask for better.
They hope things improve. They try to “stay positive.” And they cross their fingers and wait for the universe to surprise them.
But they don’t plant a clear flag and decide: I WILL have the upgrade. I will have a miraculous outcome. I will have the 2.0 version of this situation.
The big block is not making bold requests.
Why don’t people make bold requests?
- Terrified of being disappointed.
- Don’t think it’s okay to ask for ‘so much.’
- Waiting for permission.
- Addicted to being realistic.
- Don’t want to be accountable.
What exactly is The 2.0 Principle?
It’s when you decide you’ll have the better version of your story. You choose the outcome, clearly ask for it, and let the world reorganize itself around that higher expectation.
When the enrollments for my annual ‘big’ launch were cut in half, I wanted to quit my entire business… and it felt awful. I mourned the loss, let go of my shame, and decided to come back better than ever. I plotted for that comeback, and our sales hit an all-time high the next year.
When our son was hit by a car on his bike, we were slammed into a reality no parent wants. I could not and would not settle for him being paralyzed or not fully cognitive. I saw no other option but to go 2.0…. even though he had fractured vertebrae in his back and neck, his brain was swelling, and he was in a coma for nine days.
I asked for a miracle after miracle after miracle… including a surgery date moved to November when the medical staff said they were booked solid until the first few weeks in December.
Any time I use The 2.0 Principle, my life is filled with hope, purpose, creativity, and excitement. And ah-freaking-mazing results happen. Every. Single. Time.
If you’re in 2.0 mode, you don’t abide by logic, calendars, or other people’s rationale. You’re driven by YOUR desire to have a happy ending. What you want becomes a non-negotiable.
And then things start happening on your behalf. At first, they may be small, but you have to see them for what they are… evidence that you’re on your way to 2.0.
People think miracles show up randomly. Nope. They respond to clarity and conviction.
You want to know why most people never see the big ones? Because they keep their desires vague. They lower their expectations, so they won’t be disappointed.
They settle for “I just hope things get a little better” instead of “I’m calling in the exact outcome I want.”
Meanwhile, we’re over here stacking miracle after miracle. Not because we’re special. Because we ask. Because we expect.
More than a decade ago, a doctor told my husband to get his affairs in order and put him on a lung transplant donor list. My husband said HELL NO. I’m not gonna suffer the rest of my life or be on meds. He went 2.0.
The doc was blown away at my husband’s last checkup. My husband climbed to the top of Half Dome in Yosemite National Park this year with our boys.
You don’t get miracles by being reasonable. You get them by asking for the actual thing you want instead of limiting what’s possible.
By declaring the outcome before there’s any proof.
The 2.0 Principle is simple.
Decide what you want.
Ask for it directly.
Expect it fully.
Act like someone who gets miracles.
And watch life rise to meet your demands.
