678 - What word will you eliminate in 2023?

The theme I am catching on to today has to do with the word FAILURE.

I am eliminating the word from my vocabulary in 2023. Actually, I have been working on eliminating it for a while.

❌ FAILURE is a word that falsely describes an outcome.

Words that don't serve to strengthen us hold us back. They create barriers in our thinking processes.

Imagine that Thomas Edison, the Wright brothers, or any other inventor had given up because they tried a few times and it didn't work!

They had a different mindset. They never considered that they had failed.

They LEARNED.

✅ Thomas Edison said, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."

Replace the word FAIL/FAILURE with the word LEARN/LEARNED.

✅ @Larry Reines shared an appropriate quote in his post today, “When something goes wrong in your life, just yell “Plot twist!” and move on.” – Unknown

This is how you accept things going wrong without attaching emotions to them.

We teach children more about failing than we do about success.

In school, they either pass or fail. The word success isn't mentioned.

❌Not failing is stressed, rather than succeeding.

✅ How we think and how we communicate are important. Most of us on here know that.

What words do you use constantly that give a wrong impression of who you are? Are you even conscious of the way you talk to others?

It's simple to drop a word from your vocabulary but it isn't easy. You will catch yourself using it.
