Replace "I'm Not Good At" with "I'm Working On"

In my continued effort to build you guys and gals up, I would like for you to try a simple exercise that can change the way you think and act about your weaknesses. We all have them, but we shouldn't let them lower our confidence or dictate our success.

When you say a phrase that describes a weakness such as, "I'm not good at *this*," replace it with "I'm working on *this*." When you say that, it forces you to think differently about whatever *this* is. And if you genuinely begin to work on what you are lacking, you can, in turn, convert "I'm working on *this*" to "I'm capable of *this*" or "I can now do *this*."

Gaining the right attitude is crucial to success. You have to find ways to build yourself up, stop making excuses, and construct your skills. This exercise will bring you one step closer to being the sucessful person you are to be.
