The words you use in your daily communication affect your life. This is because everyone holds a different set of definition in their mind for the words that they used. Let me give you an example, how do you define attorneys’?
"Data suggest that people’s opinions of attorneys are based on two independent assessments which may not be consistent with each other. People make an assessment of attorneys’ motivation, on the one hand, and the attorneys’ utility and effectiveness, on the other.”
If you’re someone who has a dislike for attorneys’, when I talk good things about attorneys’, I’m sure you’ll counter back by saying all the bad things about attorneys’. This means, you’ve actually associated negative emotion with the word ‘attorney’.
So what do you think about it? What we’re looking for here is not the definition for attorneys’; I just wanted to show you how words play their role in affecting our life.
Have you ever noticed that, in our daily communication, sometimes when you talk to your friends, and you use a certain words that they don’t like to listen, you’ll make them angry and you’ll put them in a bad mood. I’m sure you’ve come across this kind of situation before.
And all of this leads to only one conclusion. People associate words with emotion. The words that coming out from your mouth are associated with emotions and if you know how you use words wisely, you’ll tend to be able to keep yourself motivated all the time. Good news eh?
But this is not our focus for today’s topic. In this article, I’m going to share with you that ONE WORD that you MUST NOT use in your daily life. Do you know what word is this?
No Matter What You Do, Stop Using This Word, “TRY”
Yes, this is a very dangerous word. Successful people seldom use this word. This is because they know that when they use this word, they automatically condition their mind with 2 possible outcomes. The first outcome is they successfully get what they want. And the second outcome is they fail to achieve what they want.
You know it very well when you say you’ll try, you allow yourself to success or fail.
“Trying” this word, is an irresponsible word. When you try and if you fail to get your desired results, you’ll never get the blame because you’ve tried! So don’t use this word.
Many people will say “I’ll try my very best to get it done”. I know you’ll somehow do it, but are you going to put in 100% commitment into doing it? Will you REALLY do it with your best? It sounds like you’ll do it with your best, but deep in your mind, you know it very well that it is fine even if you can’t get the desired results. Right?
There’s no trying in our life, it is either you do or you don’t. When you decide to do it, put in 100% commitment and just do it. When you don’t feel like doing it, don’t do it and don’t even talk about it. If you try, you’ll never achieve the results you want.
It is the same in our life. Do you want to be successful? If you’re serious in creating amazing results in your life, don’t try, just do it, put in commitment and determined to do it until you get what you want.
Here is a quote from one of my favorite success coachs, Anthony Robbins:
If you want to play the game and win, you have to play it “full out”. You’ve got to be willing to feel stupid, and you’ve got to be willing to try things that might not work - and if they don’t work, be willing to change your approach.
Can you see the difference between successful people and ordinary people who struggle through life now? I bet you do. Successful people like Anthony Robbins will never try; they play it “full out”.
So always remember, don’t use this word in your life. There’s no trying to be successful, you either achieve it, or you fail to achieve it.
The Words You Should Use
So what words can you use if you don’t want to use this word “try”?
Here is a great word that you can use to substitute it, “committed”. Don’t say that you’ll try your best to achieve what you want. Instead, say that you’re COMMITTED to achieve what you want in your life. If you don’t believe me, try this right now.
If you want to be successful, shout “I’m COMMITTED to being Successful!” for 3 times. Shout it hard and loud. It is fine if your friends or your mom says that you’re crazy. In fact, you need to be somewhat crazy to achieve extraordinary results in your life. So shout it loud with emotion and shout with your fist clenching.
Have you done this? What do you feel? Motivated? If you truly follow through and do this, you’ll feel the energy flowing in your body, you’ll feel motivated!
Remember the lesson you’ve learned from this “Ramblin from Ed” today. Apply this knowledge into your life today, that’s what successful people do.
