We don’t like to do things we’re not good at. So throughout the day, we say, “I can’t do it!”.
How do you determine what you can and cannot do? Do you have some sort of checklist that you utilize?

Is it based on past experiences? Maybe it’s based on past failures. Or your skills, talents, and schooling.
I can’t do it! A very strong statement that gives no room for success. It’s the quicksand in your life that doesn’t let you even try new things.
When my children say this, it makes me boil on the inside. So I have to ask them some questions hoping to get them to recognize the real reason why they are saying it. For example:
- What’s the sticking point?
- What is the hurdle you are really facing?
- What’s the real problem? (no emotions attached)
And usually in the discussion, they discover that there are a few more steps to take. But it’s definitely possible.
I can’t do it!
We let these 4 words roll off the tip of our tongue as if it’s our mantra.
Is that how you respond? Whatever you want to go after, you get a little information and then it’s….
I can’t do it!
You leave no room to explore other options, different perspectives, creative strategies.
Nope — you’re just sinkin’. I can’t do it!
When you think I can’t do it, it leads to I won’t do it.
You’re done. End of story.
It’s not the end of the story; you have to change the story.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Change the Story!
- LOOK for hope. Look on the bright side. Attitude check.
- ENTICE curiosity. Go in search for another way, other possibilities.
- WRITE the conclusion before it happens. Envision achievement and success
I did it! Makes for a great story. YOUR story!
Don’t copout with a mantra that stops you before you’ve even given yourself a chance.
