“Clear your mind of can’t” – Samuel Johnson

The mind is such a powerful thing. It can propel you into choices, movement, action…or, it can make you stop dead in your tracks.

Let’s talk about the word CAN’T.

Everybody’s different around the word can’t. But can’t is a mindset. And it is a word that makes your mind, your intention, your action stop. It’s a powerful word.

My mantra in response to my children’s “I caaaaaan’t” is…”You can DO anything.”

Clear your mind of can't

So, if I want them to believe it – I have to believe it.

I think can’t should be struck from the English language.

Don’t want to? Fine.

Have no desire to? Fine.

Not important to me? Fine.

But can’t? Can’t is a choice not to try. And trying is what gives your life color.

Failing is what gives your life color. Succeeding? Well…that’s the cherry on top of a lot of effort and…color.

So paint it up. Try. Do things that make you uncomfortable. Press into those feelings of “I can’t” with your chin up and a defiant, “Yes. I can. I can DO anything.”

Be fearless.

See you out there – we’ll recognize each other…we’ll be the ones carrying paintbrushes.
