3 Dangerous Words that Hold People Back

Out of all the different words and phrases you use throughout your life, there are certain ones that are important to be aware of because they may be keeping you stuck in some way. And even others are outright dangerous.

What is so interesting about these three words is that we use them on a regular basis and in many different situations. While these three words may seem harmless on the surface, in many situations in the different areas of your life they are dangerous and most people are not even aware of it. If fact, when most people use these three words they actually think it is helping them, especially in situations that have to do with living the type of life they'd love to live.

The three most dangerous words that hold people back are... "I know that." So what can you do about it?

Mind Games

The first thing you do when you catch yourself saying, "I know that" is to question your mind and say, "Do I really know that?" Your mind will say, "Yes you know that" and then try and keep you stuck.

This happens when you find yourself reading that book once (if you even read through it all) or listening to that interview of someone speaking once, and then you'll go on and look for something else and claim what you tried didn't work, and you'll continue to say, I know that."

By asking, "Do I really know that", your mind is being challenged but it will help you become more aware if you're falling for this little game your mind is playing with you.

After doing this if you still find yourself saying, "I know that" it's time to ask another question.

Use Your Illusion

The next question you would ask is, "If I know that, how am I using it right now in my life?" This will challenge you at first because your mind is again being challenged. Your mind is trying to keep you stuck in this illusion because it craves the "new" and has a high tendency to want to reject "old" information or something it's heard before.

This is one of the reasons why many people will try something new, such as a product they just bought or advice they've heard from someone. And in the process of doing this, their mind will have them say those 3 dangerous words, "I know that."

So by you saying, "If I know that, how am I using it right now in my life", it gets you to become more aware of whether you really are applying what you've heard or read from someone, even if you claim that you already knew it.

Better and Best

Now that you've realized that you are "using it" in your life right now, ask yourself the question, "How can I use it better in my life?" Let me give you an example.

Let's say you come across someone giving a talk on how to become financially free. As you listen, you may find yourself saying, "I know that, I've heard people say this stuff before."

Before going any further you would ask yourself, "Do I really know that?"

If you find yourself continuing to say and think that you know that, ask yourself, "If I know and have already heard that, where have I applied or am using in my life what this person is saying about becoming financially free?"

Then after you answer that question ask, "How can I use the information this person is saying about becoming financially free...how can I use it better in my life?" By answering this question, you'll be able to expand on what you're learning and come up with your own unique way of applying the information.
