You'll need to take action towards it as well. Unfortunately most people are so afraid to fail that they don't take any action at all. Mikael Thanks Paris (or is it Chris?),

The first step is to believe but as you say, believing is not enough. You’ll need to take action towards it as well. Unfortunately most people are so afraid to fail that they don’t take any action at all.

That book and the book I'm writing about on my blog now (How to be rich and happy) have completely changed the way I think about those situations. Things that I have never thought were possible (like staying in Italy or the Bahamas for a few months) are now doable even though I have no clue how I'm going to do it. I just know that I can now...

Thing is, there are certain things that really are far-fetched. For example, one of my friends told me that he would be a millionaire before he turns 18. He is now 17. I did not mean to put him down, but I just felt as if the idea was really far-fetched. Now that you mention this though, it really got me thinking.

So instead it should be "How can I do it" ;) Mikael Hi Sire,

I believe that if it is to be done “right” you will have to phrase it in a positive way because the human brain can only distinguish between can’t and can and not the rest of the sentence.

So instead it should be “How can I do it” ;)

I can see why that must have worked quite well once people saw that it wasn't a joke. What made you come up with that solution? Did you come up with it yourself or did something/someone inspire you?

Just like Sire, I'm a 100% CAN DO guy, and can't even consider things in a different way. :) This reminds of a company exercise I instated in my company a while back, where each time someone was saying that they couldn't do, and later to some extend that they were thinking that they couldn't do something, I told them to speak out loud saying: "Of course I can!" Nobody really took this very seriously at first, or saw that more as a joke than anything, but the effects where incredible, not only more work started to be done (including some of the initial "can't do or can't be done", but also the global mood and spirit of the employees! So I can attest personally that this works! .-= Nicolas Prudhon@SEO Help´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.nicolasprudhon.com/google-seo/site-topicality" rel="nofollow">Does Google Understand Your Topic?</a> =-.
