When people used to ask me whether I’m able to do something (such as drawing or mixing cocktails, i.e. things I’ve never tried before) I always was given a strong, negative response:
“No, I can’t.”
In this way, I was limiting my own capabilities without even realizing it. And this was a big mistake.
Now, when people ask me whether I can do something I’ve never done before, I don’t respond in the negative under any circumstances.
“I don’t know. I haven’t tried it yet,” I say instead.
And this is one of the most important life hacks I started to use recently. And this life approach has changed my view of the world drastically.
And after all, it changes the world itself.
