There are four words that signal failure from the starting gate. Do you know what they could be?

Are you tired and frustrated, feeling like you are never able to reach your goals. You know the life you desire but it feels like it is out of your grasp.

You witness other people succeeding, living their dreams and wonder why you are not. They are no more educated, talented, or worthy.

So, what is going on?

Success and failure are intrinsically connected to our thoughts and the words we say.

What we think and say is powerful, the driver’s seat for our beliefs, about the world and ourselves.

There are four words that can sabotage everything in our lives.

So many times, in the day we are uttering them repeatedly.

You are immediately blocked from reaching your goals when you say or think them. They make it almost impossible to succeed.

It is up to you to get in the habit of getting out of this habit.

These can be four of the most damaging words in your vocabulary.

Saboteurs.

Curious?

“I don’t have time.”
