39 - I Can and I Will

I'm baffled when people tell me they CAN'T do something.

I can't lose weight. I can't quit my job. I can't start a business. I can't go on vacation. I can't quit smoking. I can't quit eating meat. I can't buy a new car. I can’t control my kid.

I can't. I can't. I can't.

The truth is that people do these things every single day. People who say they can't are CHOOSING not to do these things. They are choosing to prioritize something else. Which is totally fine if that's what they want to do! Just stop saying that you can't, because you can.

Our brain is a powerful tool that, if used properly, can propel us. If used improperly, it will keep us stuck. The thing about our brain is that it does not want to be wrong. If you tell it you can't do something, it will say, "you're right! Let me tell you all the reasons you can't do that."

BUT…

The same thing is true when you say, "I can and I will." Your brain will say, "Alright! Let's figure out how to do this!"

Just like going to the gym you need to exercise the brain. You need to train it. You need to start with the 5 pound dumbbells and work yourself up to the 100 pound dumbbells. Increase that weight every day.

Remove CAN'T from your vocabulary and watch the magic that happens in your life.
