We Should Remove Words Like "Can't" From Our Vocabulary
By Gordon Bellows
Start paying close attention to what you say, and you may be alarmed by how often you make negative statements, such as "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 amazing results. However, we often 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 things, it functions according to the type of input it receives, or how it is programmed. 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 way for other negative words or phrases.
Instead of slamming the door shut on a world full 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 finish that project (name it) in one week."
New "How can I get that (name it) done 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 solutions will be provided.
Any possible solution that your mind provides you with could be a simple idea that slowly takes shape or it may strike you like a bolt of the blue. It may even wake you out of a sound sleep, in which case you should jot it down at once. The solution could be something you've seen or thought about before, but now you're seeing it with a new perspective.
It's 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!
