Buts
So many people are dominated by their "buts"
No that is not the American "butt" or bottom as the English would say
We are referring to the word 'but' as in cannot
This one little word sets up a negative veto on whatever is being suggested or discussed
Notice how many people in conversation say "yes but''
After a while the 'but' in everything is such a habit that you will not countenance anything new
Everything is vetoed
Life becomes locked into negation
Into a veto on all spontaneity
To change you now need to address the 'buts' which get in the way of grasping or taking advantage of opportunities.
.
Grabbing those spontaneous moments only takes place when we remove the barrier between what we want to do and actually taking action.
It's increasing these possibilities that opens the door for spontaneous actions
And the motivation for a more exciting and active life which follows.
This cannot occur when the interference of this little word is inserted into everything
.
A huge part of that interference pattern is a 'but'
Whether the 'but' is wishing you could say yes to that invitation, 'but' you just don't have the energy
Or I wish I could relax 'but' I need to get this done.
.
'Buts' limit the exploration of possibilities
They become a pattern of control that also limits the brain taking any initiatives
Not to mention the emotional deadening of so often negating everything
Ever wonder what leads towards depression?
Consider the single little word 'but' to be a culprit
Eliminate 'but' from your vocabulary
Use that other little word 'and'
Notice if you do this how 'and' obliges us to find something more positive to say
To find ways of thinking that open us to possibilities
To find ways of speaking that are positive and that look for reasons to do something
Not reasons for not to doing it
Notice also after a while if you use 'and' instead of 'but' you automatically find ways to do things not to refuse them
You are changing your habit of a lifetime
Going from the negative, shut down, cannot not, will not
To acceptance and opening to finding ways to do things not excuses not to do them
Change your life with one little word change
Such a small word
Such a big step
