If
You Want To Be Successful In Life, You Shouldn’t Say These 7 Phrases Easily
Success
isn’t only important in your career, it’s important in all aspects of your
life, such as your relationships, happiness, and experiences. Achieving success
in these areas greatly depends on what you say on a daily basis.
Take two
individuals who haven’t made it in life. Person A chooses to use optimistic
words, along the lines of “Yes! I can do this!” or “Pain is temporary, pride is
forever!” Meanwhile, person B chooses to use pessimistic words, along the lines
of “Will this work out for me?” or “No, this is impossible.”
Who do you
think will have a higher chance to succeed in life?
Put
yourself on the road to success today by simply changing your daily thoughts
and speech. You can do this by avoiding these 7 phrases and by starting to say
the things that successful people say.
1. “That’s Not Fair”
Let’s be
real, not everything in life is fair. Humans hardly ever think of a win-win
situation from the get-go. Instead, they’ll first think, “what’s in it for me?”
By simply
understanding this, you’ll learn how to accept injustice as part of your life.
Instead of saying that life is not fair, try asking yourself how you can make
the situation better.
2. “It’s Not Possible”
When
successful people run up against an apparent brick wall, they don’t see it as
an impossibility, they see it as a challenge waiting to be overcome. Instead of
succumbing to the idea that it’s impossible, successful people ask themselves “how
do I solve this?”
3. “I Could Have Done It Better”
Instead of
constantly whining about things that could have been done better, successful
people move on fast from failures. However, they remember the improvements that
they had hoped to make and seek to apply them in the future.
Tell
yourself that you’ll do your best next time instead of wallowing in past
failures. Then move on with a clearer mind.
4. “That’s Not Part Of My Job”
This is a
big no-no for successful people. Successful people understand that success
should be shared among all who contribute and that no one should ever suppress
someone else from attaining success.
Teamwork
is essential for successful people, so instead of saying that something is not
part of your job, ask yourself how you can best contribute to your team.
5. “I Don’t Know”
By saying
“I don’t know,” you’ve given up the opportunity to learn. Successful people
will rarely just say “I don’t know” because they realize that once they do,
they’ve succumbed to the habits of a lazy mind.
You can
observe this in the award-winning movie, Pursuit of Happyness, starring Will Smith.
His character was engaged in an interview and said a very memorable sentence
befitting a successful person. The line was:
I’m the type of person that if you ask me a question and
I don’t know the answer, I’m gonna tell you that I don’t know. But I bet you
what, I know how to find the answer and I will find the answer.
6. “I Have No Choice”
By telling
yourself that you do not have a choice, you’re surrendering to the fact that
the situation is bigger than you are. By saying that you do not have a choice,
you are referring to yourself as that weak victim of circumstances who doesn’t
care enough to take over the situation.
Successful
people look at all the possible choices, and they take advantage of them. Start
telling yourself today that you always have a choice.
7. “He/She Is So Stupid”
Successful
people do not pass judgment about people, because doing so reflects on their own
character and risks ruining their own career. If an issue has to be raised
about someone, it should be done in a tactful way instead of by name-calling.
You should
know that to be successful, you need to change your thinking from negative to
positive.
