Consider the difference between these two sentences:
“I want to create and present a workshop, but I’ve never done it before.?
“I want to create and present a workshop, and I’ve never done it before.?
Can just one little word make a difference in the way you feel and whether you move toward your goal or not? You bet!
“But?implies it must be one or the other. “And?implies both are possible at the same time. “I want to present a seminar and I’m afraid of making mistakes.?“I want to market my product and I don’t know how.?“I want to start my own business and it means a lot of work.?
Try this—replace the “and?with “but?in each of the above statements. How does it feel? Now put the “and? back in. Can you feel the difference? “But?forms a barrier. “And?opens up possibilities.
“Yes, but…” is a common phrase most of us have used. Just as soon as we’ve considered the possibilities, we wipe them away with just one little word.
Try kicking “but? Look what you have left—“yes?
