Saying What I Want is Best

Recently, I learned this and think it's really helpful: "Most people say what they don't want but they don't say what they do want. Unfortunately, when they say what they don't want that's exactly what they get because it's their focus. If they don't want something they need to say the opposite." Saying what I want is best; here are some examples:

• I want to be thin instead of I don't want to be fat.
• I want to have money instead of I don't want to be poor.
• I want to do what I love instead of I don't want to do this job.
• I want to live in my dream home instead of I don't want to live here.
