The word "I can't!" can cause more damage to your life than you can imagine. Do you frequently use it? did you learn, when you were very young, that by screaming, "I can't" at the top of your voice you could manage to avoid most things that appeared to be unpleasant like eating spinach? It stil works, doesn't it? How many tasks and challenges and opportunities have you managed to brush aside, in the past five years or ten just by saying "I Can't"? Remember, "your only limitations are those you set up in your own mind, or permit others to set up for you!" Free yourself from the chains impose by the word "I Can't" and you will be able to achieve any height you desire. You can do anything if you believe you can!!! Og Mandino says that the most powerful forces in the world is the will of the man who believes in himself, who dares to aim high, to go confidently after the things that he wants in his life. Here is a little story of the powerful results of not using the word "I Can't!" When World War II ended, Jay and Richard come home convinced that the aviation business was the hot item of the future. They had visions of airplanes in every garage in America and millions of people learning how to fly. So they decided to go into the Aviation business. They had a few hundred dollars, bought a little Piper Cub airplane and got ready to open an aviation school. There was one miner problem: neither of them knew how to fly an airplane.! But they did not let that stop them! They simply hired experienced pilots to give the flying lessons, while they stayed busy with the work of selling those lessons to the public. The point is that they had decided to operate a flying service, and they refused to let anything dampen their enthusiasm - not even a small detail like not knowing how to fly. Then they came across another problem. They discovered that the runways at the little airport had not been completed yet. They were stil nothing but giant streaks of mud. They improvised. A river run alongside the airport, so we bought some floats for our Piper Cub and flew right off the water, taking off and landing on those bloated pontoon floats. Then another problem: they were supposed to have offices there at the little airstrip, but the time came to open their business and the offices were still not built. Something had to be done. A chicken coop was bought from a farmer down the road, hauled over to the airstrip, white washed, a padlock put on the door, and a sign hung that read Wolverine Air Service. They had set out to get into the aviatio business and they were in it. In the end, they managed to build a thriving business, bought a dozen airplanes, and eventually had one of the biggest aviation services in town. But they made it only because they felt in their bones that they could do it and did it, despite those early roadblocks. If they had launched the project halfheartedly, not quite believing in it, they would have found many excuses to lie down and quit. The fist plane would never have made the first flight. If they had listened to all the logical arguments against their air service in those days, they would have never have attempted it and give up before they started. So give your dreams a chance to happen by refusing to use the word "I Can't" It is impossible to win the race unless you venture to run, impossible to win the victory unless you dare to battle.
