This one word changed my life … without it you are destined to fail.
Years ago I learned this one word that changed my life forever, or should I say, I learned how to use this one word that changed my life forever. Here’s what the word is but, most importantly, it’s how to use it that makes the difference. The word is “How” versus “Why.”
Here’s how it works …
Most people ask their minds the wrong questions. They say things like, “Why can’t I get rich?” Well, their minds tell them all the negative reasons why they can’t get rich. Things like: because you don’t know how to, because you’re not smart enough, because you don’t know the right people, etc. However …
Now ask your mind the right questions. You say things like, “How can I get rich?” That automatically sets your mind up for success. Now your mind starts giving you all the positive right answers. Your mind goes into the search and seek mode of “how” to do what you just asked it.
To take it one step further, I ask myself “how” all the time instead of asking myself “why” all the time. Then my mind always stays focused on the “how” to do things versus the “why” I can’t do things. This works for much greater success. Next time you are doing or not doing something, notice what type of question you just asked your mind. Notice if you just asked yourself “why” versus “how.” It makes all the difference in the world.
There’s also one other technique I use for my success. About a year ago, I wrote a FREE short, 10-page e-book about using this simple technique. If you would like to read a FREE copy of my e-book that explains it more in detail, you can get a totally FREE copy by going to: http://GetYourFreeCopyNow.com
Enjoy! I hope it helps you as much as it has helped me.

The How And Why....
The How = Getting Edacated!
The Why = Motivation, Just How important is your Why?
When some people fall in a
When some people fall in a hole, they ask 'why did I fall in this hole'?
When other people fall in a hole, they ask 'how can I get out of this hole'?
Read that in a book somewhere and can't remember where, (it's an age thing, lol). It wasn't a business book, just an ordinary thriller, but it struck home with me. I spent the last few years asking why I ended up in the hole when I hadn't done anything wrong. Once I started asking how I was going to get out of it, things changed around.
Aahhh
Frank, that was good! I really like that simple shift! I am going to implement this in my life NOW! Thank you for all that you bring to the group!! Look forward to growing together.

You hit the nail right on the head!
It is so negative when you ask yourself, "Why can't I?" That negativity just leads you round and round in circles with excuses, getting you nowhere but down.
It is so positive when you ask yourself, "How can I?" The positive question leads you on a search for the right answers. It is on this forward-looking path that you will be able to guide and lead others. By helping them, you will then help yourself.
You are very wise. Thank you for sharing.

The word is a powerful thing...
It can change history!
Thank you!
Thank you for your reply Susan, it's always appreciated.
Thank you Jenny!
I'm glad you enjoyed the article and found it useful.
Why am I so rich?
Why am I so happy? Why does everyone love me so much? Why am I so successful? Why do I always make good decisions? Why do people keep joining my business?
Try those whys for a couple of days and your subcounsious mind will just love you. Why do I love myself? Juanita Waterman
Thanks but no thanks Juanita!
It is a proven fact that asking "why" has a negative impact and effect while asking "how" has a positive effect. I wanted to keep this article easy so the lay person could understand the basics.
Without getting into the psychological and technical reasons of how the mind works and why it works like it does you are more than welcome to play around with something that's been proven. Myself I prefer to ask "how" with positive results versus "why" with negative results.

Right, Frank. The whys seem to get you into trouble. The hows have a more positive effect by putting you into forward motion.
how= motivational thinking
whenever i say "how" it creates a puzzle for what i am working on...
HOW can i make this fit?
HOW can i make this happen?
it is a powerful word!
thanks for the reminder :)
Thank You Stephanie
Your comment is much appreciated.
You're absolutely right Jean ...
That's the exact effect using How has!
