The Deadliest Words in Any Language

Written by Michael Angier

Dawn and I just got back from an intensive 3-day seminar with Peak Potentials. I'll be telling you more about this very interesting experience later.

But for now, I'd like to share with you one of my struggles when attending seminars or reading books. It may be one of yours as well.

I've read, studied and experienced a lot in my life, so it's rare that I'm exposed to completely new material. I have to really work at staying focused because it's so easy to tune out and dismiss what's being taught by saying to myself, "I know that already."

And it's those four words that are likely the most dangerous and costly words we can say or think. They're dangerous and costly. We miss out on new information and new lessons we think we already know.

One of the things the seminar leader said that really got my attention was, "If you know it, you live it. If you don’t LIVE it, you don't KNOW it."

Pretty powerful, don’t you think?

We all know ABOUT things. But unless we've integrated something into our lives, it isn't really ours.

I had read 'Secrets of the Millionaire Mind' by T. Harv Eker before attending the seminar. And I thought I understood and fully appreciated the concept and the process of allocating income into different areas. But I had totally missed the significance of the 'play' account that allows you to spend
money on yourself without guilt. That was big for me. Most of my life it's been hard for me to spend money for play without feeling guilty.

And I would have missed this point (along with many others) if I had been saying to myself, "I know that."

When you hear a story, anecdote, principle or strategy and you think what's being shared is something familiar, be very careful. Commit to listening like it was new information. Even though it might NOT be new, you can listen to it in a new way and therefore gain the gold it may contain.

We're always growing and evolving. We're in different places and seeing things in different ways at different times. I listen to tapes and CDs that I've listened to many times and yet it sure seems like they've added new information since the last time I listened.

I learned new things this past weekend. And I re-learned some things I knew already. I encourage you to be careful not to prejudge or anticipate what is about to be shared—whether it's something you read in a book or hear from a friend.

Remember, if you don’t live it, you don’t know it.

By using the link below, you can get two fr'ee tickets to one of the next "Secrets of a Millionaire Mind" intensive weekends (valued at $2590). Go to this site, order Harv Eker's book and enroll in a seminar near you. I feel it was more than worthwhile. Click here.
