At the gym, on the 12th rep, the trainer asks you to do 5 more

“I can’t do it” 

Your boss asks you to get something done by this Thursday 

“I can’t do it” 

Your friend asks you to sing a song for her on her birthday 

“I can’t do it” 

Someone you know is planing to go to the Everest base camp this year

“I can’t do it” 

The statement is a lie. The biggest lie ever told. 

It’s a proxy for “I am not willing to put in the effort to make this happen” 

The next time around, don’t use your capability as an excuse. 

Capability is rarely the question mark in life. It’s always intent.

Nice words! But I want to add on to this. We have to choose our priority to better use our capabilities. It's sometimes good to say I can't.
