Change your thinking

This is a portion of an email from the other day.  It’s from Joe Vitale (The Secret teacher).

I am mindful of the words I say.

It wasn’t always that way.

I believe it started some 10 years ago when I held a job in logistics.

Sales would call and say, “We have a problem!”

I’d always respond with, “There are no problems, what’s your challenge?”

It always made them pause.

Enjoy!

 

“Transformational Vocabulary.”

What I want you to do is change some of the words
you use when you communicate to yourself. These
subtle changes can make all the difference in how
you handle issues as they arise.

For instance…

- Refer to problems as “opportunities.”

- Instead of saying, “I have to” – say, “I get
to.”

- A setback is really a “challenge.”

- Tormentors are really “teachers.”

- Pain could be a “signal.”

- Instead of saying “I demand” – say, “I would
appreciate.”

- Rather than complain, you can “request.”

- Instead of feeling like you’re struggling, you
can be on a “journey.”

- Rather than simply doing – why not “create?”
