This was learned during my morning study group so I wanted to share it here. When thinking of the “magic word,” my thoughts first turn to the word “please.” While “please” is the magic word for children to get what they want from adults, “attitude” is considered the magic word for adults to get what they want from life. Both operate on the law of reciprocity. If you use “please,” others are likely to respond with courtesy. Similarly, the world tends to reflect your “attitude” back to you; if you project optimism and helpfulness, you generally receive the same in return.

Today's quote from the book: “This isn’t wishful thinking, it’s programming your subconscious to accept a new normal.” Doing What You Know, Chapter 6, p. 111 Most people keep waiting on a feeling. But your subconscious doesn’t run on inspiration. It runs on repetition. It runs on what you rehearse. That’s why you can “know” the right move and still default to the old pattern. The fastest shift is not hype. It’s installing a new normal through consistent reps. Same direction. Same standard. Enough days in a row that it starts feeling like you. Write one sentence that describes your new normal. Then do one 5-minute rep that matches it and log it.

Today's quote from the book: “Self-sabotage is a silent thief. It doesn’t often scream at you, it whispers.” Doing What You Know, Chapter 6, p. 101 That’s why it’s so dangerous. It doesn’t feel like panic. It feels like a reasonable delay. A little procrastination. A little shrinking back. A little “I’ll do it tomorrow.” And if you don’t catch the whisper, it slowly drains momentum, confidence, and results. The win is noticing it early. Not after it steals another week. Write the last “whisper” you listened to, then do one 5-minute move that proves you’re back in control.

Today's quote from the book: “Contrary to what many believe, courage isn’t the absence of fear; it’s action in spite of it.” Doing What You Know, Chapter 6, p. 106 Fear shows up and your mind starts negotiating. You don’t need fear to leave. You need to move while it’s still there. Courage isn’t loud. It’s quiet follow-through. One small step that proves you’re not letting fear drive today. If you wait to feel ready, you’ll keep waiting. If you move anyway, confidence starts catching up. Name the thing you’re hesitating on. Take one 5-minute action in spite of the fear and log it.
