How do we break free of “try”? How do we set ourselves up to succeed? Begin with changing our language.
Get honest with yourself (and others)…
You do or you do not. You do want something, do act on something, do work towards something - or not.
Here’s the key - DECIDE. When you decide, you’re telling your subconscious mind to go to work on finding ways to get what you want. When you decide, you make it happen - no matter what.
Feel how different “decide” feels from “try”. Can you feel the expectation of success in decide? Can you feel the change in energy in your body? Can you feel the conviction that you’ll do whatever it takes once you’ve decided?
There’s no room for failure in decide - you’ll keep going until you succeed.
Raising Your Standards:
One of the key ways to raise your standards is to stay true to your word - to yourself and others - but most importantly to yourself. When you say you’ll do something, do it. When you don’t want to do something, or have no intention of doing something, say so. Remove “try” from your vocabulary and insert “do” … or “don’t”.
○ DECIDE - decide what you want
○ COMMIT - commit to seeing it through to success
○ RESOLVE - resolve to work through any obstacles that may come up
You know what you want. Choose to include in your life more of what you want, less of what you don’t and to more honestly express your choices. Not only will you respect yourself more but others will as well.
