There’s one phrase that will kill more of your dreams, limit your career, and hold you back from being the person you want to be:
I can’t.
When we use the phrase, I can’t, we’re putting a finality to anything we want to do, which too often becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
While we sometimes have to face reality, it doesn’t mean the things we want are forever out of our reach.
The, I can’t, phrase becomes embedded when we think it and say it to others.
But there’s hope!?
Here’s a few things you can say to yourself to start changing this mindset:
Instead of: I can’t start a business right now, try: While I haven’t learned how to start a business, I need to do my research and see what it takes.
Instead of: I can’t switch jobs with everything going on, try: Even with so much going on at work, I’ll find a way to make an exit plan.
Instead of: I can’t lose weight while I’m under this much stress, try: ?I see others losing weight and I’m sure they have stress.? I can do it too.
By replacing "I can’t" with empowering self-talk such as "I can" or "I’ll find a way," you free yourself up to all sorts of possibilities while cultivating a growth mindset.
So, here’s your Action Item and Mission, should you decide to accept it: When the, I can’t, phrase creeps into your head, catch it and turn it around to one of these:
You can even say, I choose not to right now. This one puts you in control, and it’s ok.
When we start reframing this dream-killing thought, we take another step closer to the person we want to become. We really do become what we think. And if we think we can, we will
