The Power of a Word

I know we all go through these little things in our heads that tell us we CAN'T do something.  Such a strong word, "can't".  It is a word that puts limits on you.  It is a word that prevents you from achieving your goals.  It is a word that keeps you where you are with no growth.  It is a word that can be psychologically devastating to you.

That's correct, I said to you.  Whether you place that limit on yourself, or you let others tell you, "you can't" do something, you have limited yourself right there.  You have no way to grow.  If you want to grow, if you want to make goals happen, you have to get past the word "can't".  Yes, things can be difficult, but if you are truly determined to do something, it WILL get done.

You may have people telling you that something isn't possible.  That something is a gimmick.  That you can't accomplish what you set out to do.  These same people, however, have never tried to do anything.  They have always taken the easy way, or the way of least resistance.  They usually gave up on themselves and won't admit it.  They have placed a limit on themselves.  Because they place the limit on themselves, or even let others place that limit on them, they think things can't be done.  They believe, that if they can't do something, others can't do it either.  They refuse to let others try to succeed where they have failed, or never even tried.

The question now is, what are your goals worth to you?  Are your goals worth you doing all you can to  achieve them?  Are your goals worth going the extra distance?  Do you have your why?  Do you have a daily reminder, like a dream board, up where you can see it each and every day?  Are you doing self development to reach your goals?  I keep saying goals.  I say this because once you write it down and are determined, dreams become goals.  They are no longer a dream.  They are now a goal YOU WILL reach.  You just have to do what you CAN to achieve them.

Stay away from people that say you "can't", or something is not possible, or something won't work.  They are positivity vampires that will suck your goals away from you.  They are telling you you can't.  Show them you CAN and you WILL.  Sure you may stumble, and you may fall along the way.  Everyone does.  But the real question is do you get back up, look at the wall or mountain that blocked your path, and go around it to get to where you want to be.

Follow people that are supportive of your goals and avoid the positivity vampires and you will get there!  If you want it, it will be yours!
