When I was a young child my mom would caution me about saying I can't do something.
It was funny, she had a little saying,
Can't couldn't do it and Could did it all.
This saying has undoubtedly shaped my self esteem.
Perhaps I have learned to be over confident in areas that I'm inexperienced in but that little nudge of "you can do it" has provided miles of usefulness in my life and career.
Limits are something others impose on me. I have been exposed to great challenges over the course of my business and personal life and more times than not I have considered them opportunities instead of barriers. That familiar little saying has intrenched deep rivers of confidence in my thought process when faced with "you can't do that".
Instead of agreeing with the "you can't do that" start asking yourself (and others), "Why not?"
