Mt. But overtakes Mt Everest as world’s highest mountain

基本 CMYKThere’s been so much talk of Michael Jackson’s untimely death lately that most of us didn’t notice an equally earth shattering piece of news – Mt But has overtaken Mt Everest as the world’s highest mountain!

 So where exactly is Mt But?  It’s really easy to find – it’s in  your mind, and it’s your greatest obstacle to achieving  anything in life, big or small, super important or really inconsequential.

 And what is Mt But?  It’s your inner voice that goes, “Yes,  I’d like to do this in life, but ……..”  or “I must start my diet  now, but ………” or “I will start  working on this really important project now, but …..    Every time you add a “but” to your inner voice in this context, your brain immediately goes to bed and does nothing to help you achieve your goals. In fact, almost 100% of the time after you utter “but” only negatives come out of your heart and mind and  you have to climb a mountain higher than Mt. Everest to get things done.  

 The simple cure to overcome the Mt. But disease is to say, “I will start working on this project now because I like the recognition when I get it done right”  or “I must start my diet  immediately and I’ll do it because I want to live to see my kids grow up…” or “I’d like to achieve this in life and all I need is a strategy how”.  What you’re  doing is to put yourself in a better emotional state to handle any situation just by eliminating the word “but” under these circumstances, substitute it with “and” or “because” and complete the sentence with positives only.  It’s really that  simple and to those of you saying this is good advice but….  I suggest you say it again as “this is good advice and I’m going to use it now because I’m tied of climbing up Mt But!”

Nothing is good or bad, but thinking makes it so – “Bill” Shakespeare

    This reminds me of this thing my aunt used to say…
    However it is probably not appropriate right now…

    Thanks for the great ideas in this post! I’m glad to see that I’m doing several things right. I hadn’t thought about putting an interactive question in a post – nice tip. I’m pretty new at blogging and your site helped encourage me to get into some group writing contests, projects and carnivals – which I have thoroughly enjoyed! I can always count on your blog for some great ideas for taking things up a notch. It will be fun to think of some ideas for non-family related universal post topics. Thanks for such an informative post!
