Start paying close attention to what you say - you may be alarmed
by how often you say things like *I can't* or *that won't work.*
Without realizing it, you are limiting yourself and closing your
mind to the possibilities that might be available.

The mind is capable of producing wonderfully amazing results.
However, all too often, we place limits on the power of the mind
because of the words we use and the commands we feed into it.

You see, although the mind is capable of great results, it will
function according to the type of input it receives, or how it is
programmed. So, when we say, *I can't* the mind will treat that
input as a command of sorts and the *I can't* attitude becomes
reality. It works the same for other negative words or phrases.

Instead of slamming the door shut on a world of possibilities,
give yourself a chance by using different phrases and letting
your mind go to work for you.

For example, when you stop saying *I can't* and start using the
phrase *how can I?* you are giving your mind a task to perform.
The mind will go to work attempting to answer that question and
provide you with possible solutions.

Here are some generic examples of asking your mind for solutions:

Old *I can't do that.*
New *How can I do that?*

Old *I can't become _____.*
New *How can I become _____?*

Old *I can't afford to do/go/have _____.*
New *How can I afford to do/go/have _____?*

Okay, here are some specific examples:

Old *I can't make ten sales in one week.*
New *How can I make ten sales (or more) in one week?*

Old *I can't afford to get a better car.*
New *How can I afford to get a better car?*

Old *I will never be successful with a home business.*
New *How can I be successful with a home business?*

It really helps to ask the questions with a positive attitude and
truly believe that possible solutions will be provided.

Any possible solution that your mind provides you with could be a
simple idea that slowly takes shape, it may strike you like a
bolt of the blue, or it could wake you out of a sound sleep, in
which case you should jot it down at once. The solution may even
be something you have seen or thought about before, but now you
are seeing it with a new perspective.

It is exciting when you realize that the unlimited creative power
of your mind has been hard at work coming up with solutions to
the questions you ask of it.

The solution(s) may come within a matter of moments or it could
be days before one appears. The important thing is to recognize
it as a possible solution and decide if it is a good answer to
the question of *how can I?*

Once you have the answer, take action!

I hope this short article has given you a few things to think
about. The main point is to be positive and use phrases that
don't place limits on what is possible. Ask your mind to provide
you with solutions. Expect good things and they will come!
