Hi Reader,

There's a thing I find myself saying so often in coaching calls and workshops that it's starting to feel like everyone in my world has heard it. So when it came time to write the chapter about it for my book, I almost left the whole thing out. What's the point, I thought, they already know.

You have your own version of this. You've watched it click for the person across from you a hundred times. After all those repetitions, you just want to move past it and get to the parts that still feel fresh to you.

But the path you've worn smooth is often exactly the path your reader needs before they can put one foot in front of the other.

They may have heard the thing you teach a million times but they never heard it the right way for them. Until you write your book, they're still waiting to hear the particular framing in the particular voice on the particular morning when they're ready to hear it.

Reincarnation is my example. I had heard about it my whole life, and every time it came up I would think, interesting idea, but not something I can use. Then someone explained it to me in a whole different way, and it made sense.

Your readers have read some of those other books that say the thing you say. Maybe they're read a lot of them, and they're thinking, "That sounds lovely. If only it were relevant to me." Now you come along, with your own story about the thing they're trying to understand, and it finally sinks in.

So don't skip that chapter. If you're seeing that it's fundamental to your clients and students, it will be fundamental to your readers too.

Keep writing!
