Pay close attention to this, because we're about to lay down one of the most important pieces of advice we have – one that has consequences on almost everything you do in life.
Ready for it?
NO. MORE. CURSING.
No, we're not talking about swearing. We're talking about the words that actually CURSE your chances of success …
HOPE … TRY … IF … MIGHT … MAYBE
These words aren't just a buzzkill. They're goal-killers. They're barriers standing between YOU and YOUR POTENTIAL. And they all need to go.
LIKE NAILS ON A CHALKBOARD
What’s so bad about saying words like "hope" or "might?"
Once those words come out of your mouth, you've already planted the seed of doubt. It's over.
Think about it … imagine you've got a clear picture of something you want in your mind. You're ready to go after it. Engine's revving. Light turns green. It's go-time. Then SCREECH – you immediately put on the brakes.
That's what it's like when you use those words. It's like giving up and saying you're not going to do it.
If you're serious about doing big, unimaginable things, then you need to banish those from your vocabulary NOW. They don't exist anymore.
From now on, there are only two options:
WE EITHER DO OR WE DON'T
That's it.
No trying or hoping or wishful thinking. You're either doing it, or you aren't. There is no in-between.
Remember: it's all about mindset.
By removing those "curse" words, you remove the risk of doubt and non-commitment. You force yourself to adopt the attitude that NOTHING will stop you from making it happen since you have committed.
As soon as a "maybe" slips out of your mouth, then you're already backing out and one step closer to admitting defeat.
By getting rid of that language altogether, you break down the barriers stopping you from reaching your full potential.
