Can You Do It?
Can You Do It?
All successful people will tell you they avoid this question. It’s a setup for an easy way out for not fulfilling your desires and destiny in life. Instead, successful people never question if they can do it—they just get moving toward what they want and—Do It Now!
You’ll never know how many times you allowed yourself to be talked out of something you really wanted. Whether it was a business venture or a life adventure, you allowed the question, “Can I do it?” to enter your mind.
Anytime you ask yourself this silly question, you already have answered it as well. If you ask yourself if you can do it, you really are saying, “I can’t do it.” If you really believed you could do it, you’d never allow the question to come into your consciousness.
So many people will want to challenge me on this and ask, “Well, is there anything a person can’t do?” My reply to these individuals is, “Of course there are things we can’t do. The things we can’t do are the things we don’t want to do. Anything a person truly wants to accomplish is possible for that individual.”
Anyone past the age of 20, has had numerous experiences in life where they did some pretty amazing things. It could be something as simple as catching a glass before it falls to the floor to landing a job when it was truly needed. The list of amazing experiences that everyone has experienced would be too vast for writing in this short article, but I believe you get the idea.
We are all amazing. Every single person has the potential to do great things or mediocre. Every single person has the ability to do the impossible in his or her life if so desired. Every single person can do anything the individual believes is possible. There are no exceptions to this rule.
From my office window, I just witnessed a man getting into his van and driving away. This was amazing to me because this guy had no legs and only one arm yet he was able to drive himself around in his van. Although I don’t know this man, I’m so proud that he decided what he wanted and didn’t allow his physical limitations to decide for him.
What limitations do you have to overcome? All of us have limitations to overcome in order to achieve our life’s desires. Most of the limitations are not a result of outside forces but due to the fact of us believing we can do it.
As the author of “The Artist Way,” Julia Cameron said, “I have learned, as a rule of thumb, never to ask whether you can do something. Say, instead, that you are doing it. Then fasten your seat belt. The most remarkable things follow.”
Don’t pay too much attention to the uncertain times of your life. Don’t allow these things to dictate who you are or what you’re going to achieve. There have always been and always will be uncertain times in the world and among its people. Don’t base your desires and achievements on the apparent lack or negativity that may be swirling around you. Instead rise above it all and declare, “I can do anything I’m willing to work for and achieve.”
The universe is infinitely abundant. Ask any successful person and they will share their own point of view of this abundance with you. They will not discuss “lack” or “hard times” with anyone. It’s not in our conscious thoughts, so it doesn’t exist in our lives.
The only difference between a person who has succeeded at a specific thing and another whom only wishes they could is very simple. The successful person never allows any thoughts or conversations of doubt to enter into their lives. The successful person only thinks of what they want, gets moving towards it, and enjoys the unfolding miracles of watching it happen.
When you get moving toward something specific in your life with total intention of making it happen—it happens faster than you would believe possible.
Unfortunately, the opposite is true as well. If you stop and ask yourself, “Can I do it?” You’re done before you get started.
Know you can do it. Know you will do it. Know there is a power greater than yourself assisting you in all you desire to do. When you reach points of impasse where you can’t go on, a superior power takes over and carries you the rest of the way. When this superior power takes over, new ideas and ways of doing things are revealed, that you previously, never would have been able to figure out on your own.
Enjoy your journey and remember, “Some days life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we’re here we should dance.”
I really appreciate the feedback by so many of you about these “Five Minute Mental Breaks.” I’m happy to share this time with you. Until next time, I am
