The concept used is associated with the notion that prices will fall at some future date. It is not an expression of optimism.
Yet, many of us often do this as individuals. We sell ourselves short. We underestimate what we can achieve or what we are capable of.
If we say no from the start, others will unlikely say yes.
Stop the practice. Instead, say I can until I repeatedly demonstrate I can’t. We should not fail at the first hurdle but rather use that immediate obstacle as one we learn from. And then, in time, we can assess our progress and the extent of failure or accomplishment.
Similarly, a focus on the issues we have today is mired in the approach of solving for now. Yet, when we engage on what is possible, dream big, and explore, we open whole new areas of potential.
If we sell ourselves short, who will believe we can?
