Yet Is the Key Word
Words mean things, especially when you’re feeling down
I think it might be true that the smallest words have the biggest effect on our lives. Ask someone who’s never heard “I love you” from their parents growing up.
Adjusting our day-to-day vocabulary to create a good life isn’t easy, but it can start with one word — yet.
“I can’t do it.”
“I can’t do it yet.”
Your defeatist attitude is vanquished with three letters. I find it disheartening that so many people have the mindset that if whatever isn’t in their lives now, it never will be.
One of the grand secrets of life is if something is a problem, it just means you don’t have the knowledge to solve it. When I’m anxious, the option of a solution becomes possible when I remember the word “yet.”
Have you ever changed your life by changing your vocabulary?
