Remove Words Like *I Can't* From Your Vocabulary
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:

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?*
