Remove Words Like *I Can't* From Your Vocabulary
by Gordon Bellows
Start paying close attention to what you say - you
may be alarmed
by how often you say things like *I can't* or *that
won't work.*
Without realizing it, you are limiting yourself and
closing your
mind to the possibilities that might be available.
The mind is capable of producing wonderfully amazing
results.
However, all too often, we place limits on the power
of the mind
because of the words we use and the commands we feed
into it.
You see, although the mind is capable of great results,
it will
function according to the type of input it receives,
or how it is
programmed. So, when we say, *I can't* the mind will
treat that
input as a command of sorts and the *I can't* attitude
becomes
reality. It works the same for other negative words
or phrases.
Instead of slamming the door shut on a world of possibilities,
give yourself a chance by using different phrases and
letting
your mind go to work for you.
For example, when you stop saying *I can't* and start
using the
phrase *how can I?* you are giving your mind a task
to perform.
The mind will go to work attempting to answer that
question and
provide you with possible solutions.
Here are some generic examples of asking your mind
for solutions:
Old *I
can't do that.*
New *How
can I do that?*
Old *I
can't become _____.*
New *How
can I become _____?*
Old *I
can't afford to do/go/have _____.*
New *How
can I afford to do/go/have _____?*
Okay, here are some specific examples:
Old *I
can't make ten sales in one week.*
New *How
can I make ten sales (or more) in one week?*
Old *I
can't afford to get a better car.*
New *How
can I afford to get a better car?*
Old *I
will never be successful with a home business.*
New *How
can I be successful with a home business?*
It really helps to ask the questions with a positive
attitude and
truly believe that possible solutions will be provided.
Any possible solution that your mind provides you with
could be a
simple idea that slowly takes shape, it may strike
you like a
bolt of the blue, or it could wake you out of a sound
sleep, in
which case you should jot it down at once. The solution
may even
be something you have seen or thought about before,
but now you
are seeing it with a new perspective.
It is exciting when you realize that the unlimited
creative power
of your mind has been hard at work coming up with solutions
to
the questions you ask of it.
The solution(s) may come within a matter of moments
or it could
be days before one appears. The important thing is
to recognize
it as a possible solution and decide if it is a good
answer to
the question of *how can I?*
Once you have the answer, take action!
I hope this short article has given you a few things
to think
about. The main point is to be positive and use phrases
that
don't place limits on what is possible. Ask your mind
to provide
you with solutions. Expect good things and they will
come!
