A very wise man gave me some excellent advice one day. I was doing a move in one of my Karate classes and he said, You aren’t doing that move the wrong way, only different. Lets try it this way.
This was a total eye opener for me. It made me realize that I was doing the move wrong way but it didn’t make me feel like it was wrong.
Many times, we focus on our mistakes and things that we do wrong instead of realizing that we just did it a different way that it is not correct. I certainly like hearing that I an doing something different, even if not the correct way, much more than I like hearing that I am wrong about something.
Just changing the words that we use can have a powerful impact on our mind and motivation.
Please leave me a comment and let me know your thoughts about using the word different instead of wrong.
