You Cant Do That! Can You?

We have all heard the words, "You Cant do that". It either came at a time that we were branching out to do something new, going for a promotion, starting a new endeavor or etc. Whatever it was we were attempting, some level headed person told us"You can't do that." Either we were too young, too short, not enough education, from the wrong side of the tracks, I mean really it could have been a number of things that cause this statement to be said to us.

What I have learned is it not what is said to us that cause us to be fearful. It is what we believe. Did you believe what was said to you? Did you allow it to take root in your heart and mind and cause you to begin to sabotage your own success. Many of us do that. How, well let me put it this way. Remember that old saying sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me. We would say this when someone said something hurtful and mean to us. But if you are anything like me you would say it and the words would still sting. You were wounded. After the first, second and third time someone would say something to you...you might even begin to believe it yourself whether or not you admit to your belief. The same is true with us now.

What we must remember is this, we are created and placed on earth to do extraordinary things. No two people will ever do the same things exactly alike. We are built to be different. Just like your fingerprints are different. each of us have a unique way of doing things. So what may work for one will have to be modified and adjusted for the next. even it is is very similar if you look closely your unique mark is there. It is what separates you from all others.

The next time someone tells you, "You can't do that." tell them, "Oh Yes I can, Just watch me." Believe in yourself the same way you believe a chair will hold you up when you sit in it. Believe in yourself the same way you believe that you will take your next breath. Believe in yourself the same way you believe that
