Is it useful?
Above all else, this is what underlies my every action and belief I have. I apply this question to everything. Whether it’s my thoughts, ideas or resources. Is it useful?
Yes = keep it
No = throw away
When a thought or belief comes to me, I wonder if it serves me in anyway. Regardless if it’s correct or not, if it’s useful for me to believe it then it remains with me.
For example, it’s not correct to think that every gun is loaded. But if you do so then you have caution enough to prevent anything severe.
Applying this to an idea and belief means I’m only believing things that actually help me in my life. Some thoughts and ideas can generate self-inflicted limitations.
Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right.- Henry Ford
