Watch your language

I have just posted my newsletter at http://www.ambitioncoach.com/62652/90928.html, where I discuss how your use of language can determine your likely success. I discuss Gordon Brown's statement: "I will try my utmost", since my training as a life coach has taught me to challenge people who use the word 'try'. How much stronger to start your day with "today I will strive to..." than "today I will try to...". (But I acknowledge that adding 'my utmost' certainly strengthens this statement. :-))
