5 Common Words That Create Failure

"Your level of success is predetermined by the words you use every day. Avoid these five "failure" words.

The words that people use every day determine whether they will achieve failure or success. There are five words that, in my observation, frequently show up in the conversation of losers, much more so than in that of winners. Here they are:

1. Luck

Although it's true that unforeseen events can affect outcomes, it was not luck that made the difference. It was the events. Luck had nothing to do with it.
Believing in luck focuses your thoughts on an imaginary construct that neither you nor anybody else can change or affect.
What's worse, luck is an excuse that explains away failure ("It was just bad luck") and devalues your successes ("It was just good luck").

2. Enemy

It's true that you have competitors, and that sometimes, for you to win, they have to lose (and vice versa). Even so, there are no enemies in business.
Enemies are opponents in warfare, when people are killing one another. Business is about making things better, not killing people.
The moment you demonize competitors by calling them enemies, you close off your business options. Today's competitors are often tomorrow's partners.

3. Rejection

Wouldn't it be nice if people always said yes to your ideas? Well, sometimes people aren't going to like your ideas, or even you personally, for that matter.
You can pathologize such events by thinking of them as rejection, or you can understand that what really happened was that the other person's desires didn't match yours.
Rather than using a word that automatically makes you miserable, concentrate on changing your approach or approaching somebody else.

4. Hate

I cringe every time I hear somebody use this word in casual conversation. At work, it's usually something like: "I hate my boss" or "I hate my job."
Hate is a sick word, and it creates sickness in your body. Every time you use that word, you might as well be sticking a cancer cell in your body. Seriously.
I'm not saying that you've got to be sweetness and lovey-dovey about everything, but why pollute your brain by actually hating anything or anybody?

5. But

I'm sure you know somebody who can't say anything about any idea, plan, or activity without crutching the sentence with the word but.
It's always something like "Hey, that's a great idea, but..." or "I agree that we need to take action, but..." It's discouraging, and it kills momentum.
There's a substitute for but that actually creates momentum: the word and. Try it next time a but is about to emerge from your mouth.
Tomorrow, I'll give you the words that, in my observation, signal that a person is a winner rather than a loser. So stay tuned.:" Inc.com Geoffrey James

Positive reinforcement helps your brain develop new cells

You and Your Powerful Brain

• Your brain has the power to develop new pathways to create a change in your behavior and the way you do things. You can do just about anything in life, if you feed your brain with the same affirmations. 

• The new study shows about neuroplasticity that how our brain develops new cells everyday by just simply feeding with positive words. The same concept was introduced to us years back by Milton Erickson's discoveries about Hypnotherapy and NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming)

What is Life Coaching?

What is happiness?

Since the beginning of time, great minds have debated the true key to happiness. Some say fame, others say fortune; still others search in vain for a fountain of youth.  Ours is a culture of wants and needs—and most of us convince ourselves that once we get what it is we want, we'll be happy.

Evidence to the contrary be damned—that big new house or fast car will indeed make me happy.

We've all been there—we've all coveted something at one point or another.  But of course, it's not stuff that makes us happy—that much we know.  Instead, real and lasting happiness comes from something different entirely—something elegantly simple and entirely attainable.  Happiness is within ourselves not anything relating to outside of us.
