“If you desire to accomplish anything in life, please delete the (t) in can't; you can only succeed without it” - Johnnie Williams III
Have you ever placed an order at a restaurant and mentioned to remove something they had as an ingredient you didn’t want included? Well - let’s hold the (t) - you can do it!
I feel that many of us have learned can’t from someone who couldn’t bear to watch us fail or fall short. So, we were conditioned to say can’t more often than not. I can’t - you can’t – we can’t... sound familiar? Just saying what you can’t do shouldn't feel natural coming from your mouth or feel as foreign as a language that you do not speak. Well, there is some small group out there that is busy working on removing the (t) in can(t).
Are you one of them…?
I see the ( T ) representing time… The time needed to develop a can’t into a can! But realistically there are some things that we really are unable to do, but the sad reality is for too many of us, we will opt for adding the (t) way too soon.
How many of you have once said?
-I can’t ride a bike – but now you do!
-I can’t swim – but now jump in the deep end!
-I can’t cook - but (now) still manage to burn a pot of boiling water ( lol ). Keep trying!
-I can’t do that – but now do much-much more!
Know that I once said "I can’t manage my own podcast… I can’t edit it. I can’t record it." And then I had to edit my can't and replace it with can to arrive at episode 41 of season 3.
