“I Can’t” – Who Says So? (part 2)
Now that you have read the last post and seen the Video “Yes I Can”, (shown below again) it’s time to see where else it can take you.
Having been inspired by the video, you might have attempted to go further than you have before in some physical activity. If you did, you know you can, and you feel the joy that comes from it.
“What I can’t do today, I can do tomorrow.” – Gabrielle Mariotta—- a tailor said after having suffered a stroke
“Success comes in cans; failure in can’ts.” — Morris Mandel
“Imagine if a bird was unaware that its wings enabled it to fly”. – The Rebbe
Let’s now consider how the same approach and attitude can be used to take you further in other ways.
We all would like to be happy and find joy. To get there we must seek to constantly grow and improve in all areas of our lives.
“The woods are lovely, dark and deep,But I have promises to keep,And miles to go before I sleep,And miles to go before I sleep.” – Robert Frost from his poem “Stopping by Woods on A Snowy Evening”
In order to improve and grow, you don’t have to change. You have to be willing to make changes.
Imagine what you’ll be and who you’ll be by breaking free of all those self-imposed constraints. Take that first step.
P.S. There are many posts on this website that give thoughts, ideas, suggestions on what changes to make and how to get there. There will also be more in the future. This post is merely to help adjust your mindset, which is step number one.
Heart and Soul
Great
Thank you, Fred. Happily, there are so many flickers of daydreaming each day where we might have the chance to put some feet to these notions and try and try again.
