How to Solve Your Problems
If you want to know how to solve your problems, whatever they might be, this post will help.
Last Night at the Landmark Training..
Some of you know I recently re-attended the advanced course Landmark Training, and last night was the completion ceremony so we rented a limo, loaded up 10 of our friends and headed over to Lauderdale from Naples. One of the things they taught last night was a way to help you solve your problems.
First, let’s look at your possible problems and apply a standard phrase that MOST people use. It goes something like this:
I want X but Y
Now, what are some problems you might want to solve? Let’s just throw out some examples but feel free to come up with your own.
I want to lose 20 pounds but I love to eat.
I want to make $100,000 but I don’t have any money to invest in a business.
I want a great job but the economy sucks.
I want a great relationship but I can’t find anyone.
Would you agree this is the language of most people that you know? Do you see where the problem is? In the Landmark training they actually expose you to that there is a lie in every one of these statements and it has to do with correlation. The word but is in between two non-correlating events or facts however the world around you and in your head correlates them. Huh? What? Let me explain..
Solve Your Problems By Thinking Differently
Fun Limo Ride Last Night
The key thing to understand is there is ZERO correlation between what you want and the reason you are justifying why you don’t have it and the holding onto that reason will disempower you from attaining it.
Saying that you want to make a bunch of money but you don’t have money to invest is about the same as saying you want a great marriage but you hate bananas. But Ray, those things don’t make any sense! Neither does your excuses.
Can someone who has no money go out and make $100,000, has that ever happened in history, is it in the realm of possibility? Of course it is so don’t cripple yourself by using it the reasoning on why you don’t have it by using “but”.
Has anyone ever gotten a great job while in a bad economy? It is at least in the realm of possibility to do so? Of course it is so stop using that too. To switch your mind, to think differently, stop using the word “but” in the same sentence with what you want in life and instead use “and”.
Mind Shift to Solve Your Problem
When you use “and” you recognize the two sections of your statements as separate from one another. You want a great relationship AND you have been unable to find someone so far. OK, that you can deal with. You can work on the issue rather than be stopped out of the box from ever attaining what you really want. Know that there is no valid “buts” when it comes to attaining what you want because someone, somewhere has has bigger issues and tougher times in the area you want to achieve but achieved it anyway. Know that you CAN achieve anything you want from wherever you are regardless of your past history or current lack of anything. I believe in you!
To Your Abundance!

Again Ray you put out fantastic VALUE in your content. I have never really thought how the word "but" can destroy what you really want.

Now that was powerful but I don't like bananas.
. Seriously though this is something I will remember in my own life / business and teach to those who look to us for guidance.

I am working on my mindset. One thing I have noticed the last month or so, is that as I get more consistent in writing content, reading, and listening to some training, my mind is shifting. Thanks Ray.

“Saying that you want to make a bunch of money but you don’t have money to invest is about the same as saying you want a great marriage but you hate bananas. But Ray, those things don’t make any sense! Neither does your excuses.”
Hahaha, this is hilarious but soooo true. I like the bluntness here. What I have found is to train out brain to stay away from disempowerment as in my experience these are conditioned patterns that keep jumping up.
The more they come forward the more we can deal and overcome. If they don’t show up that means you are living too comfortably now and this will become uncomfortable later.

Awesome post. You always give value in your blog posts. I think it is pretty amazing, the power in switching these two words.
Thank you for helping people to learn and grow.

Amazing, Ray. Just a simple switch of "but" to "and", and you can think of any situation in a totally different light. Keep on keeping on, with your great "simple" intuitive advice. Your blog just gets better by the second.

Love this Ray as always. Changing up language is so effective, whether or not anyone has done NLP training, it doesn’t take a genius to know that what you say is what you get. I know this is true! Keep creating such tremendous value in the marketplace. I appreciate you!

Wow! such a small change in what you say and what you think can make a significant difference. Thanks for sharing that little edge.

As usual Ray, a great explanation and suggestions, Thanks.

Words of wisdom Ray! The word “but” can destroy your dreams … whether you are saying it or sitting on it …neither is a good idea.

Once again you provide such a powerful lesson for anyone struggling to get what they want out of life ! AND you present it in a way that makes perfect sense …thanks Ray !
This is such a simple concept and really hits home for me (as I’m sue it does for so many others )! It’s amazing how changing a little word in your inner vocabulary could have such a major impact on the outcome of your efforts !

Great stuff like always.
