The greatest way to add value is our thinking.

When it's complex…

Raw and fundamental language gives me more clarity. 

One of my mentors said, 

“The words you choose throughout the day can uplift you or drain you. Our language is powerful!”


One word.

Too many words.

Silence.

Depending on the situation, all 3 of those can add or take away from your message.

My mentor always tests and stretches my current thinking.

He said,

“I want to CHALLENGE you that there is someone who is worse off than you. 

There is someone who doesn’t like their job. 

Someone is struggling and in a tougher spot.

I want to really challenge you and RISE UP AND BE AN ADVOCATE for that person. 

A lot of our problems in our real life are not circumstantial. 

That is perspective. 

Just because you have a bad morning, a bad day, a bad month, a bad quarter… you have the ability to get up, walk, read a book, drink clean water. 

If you can be that person to add value, encourage their vision… 

It will fill you with energy and will give you a new perspective. 

You’ll be a much better person in life. 

DECIDE NOW to push people to be their best and tell people how it feels.”

(Nodding my head)

Instead of me being negative, subtracting or taking away... 

I don’t want to drastically change you.

I want to add a small concept in which you view the world differently.

Become the very best you can be, is what will pull you.

How?

It’s simple.

In the language of the Tai Chi Classics, it’s “to defeat a thousand pounds with four ounces.”

The “four ounces” is your outlook and attitude.

If you believe it’s impossible, you’ve already lost the fight.

Just because it’s not easy now, doesn’t mean you’re not going to ever get there!

It becomes less and less difficult with every step you take towards possible. 

Wherever you think or say…

1. I can’t do this.

2. I don’t get it.

3. I can’t keep up. 

It’s normal.

Instead of trying to modify everything…

Go for a walk.

Take a couple of deep breaths and…

Add the “four ounces” at the end of those sentences.

That “four ounces” which will defeat a thousand pound is... 

Yet. 

It will give you confidence that you can change impossible to possible.

1. I can’t do this, yet.

2. I don’t get it, yet.

3. I can’t keep up, yet.

A small word will weaponize your language. 

I want to make sure that every morning in your mind you have a clear, positive and driven view so I know you will grab, hold and win your “possible”.
