The Two Most Motivating Words EVER: "YOU CAN'T"

There are two words that, together, have inspired some of the greatest achievements known to man. These two simple words have paved a path when all seems lost. They have broken barriers when everyone claimed it was impossible. These two words are "you can't."  

There was a time when experts believed the sound barrier couldn't be broken and yet in 1947, Chuck Yeager broke it. There was a time when people claimed Mount Everest couldn't be climbed and yet in 1953, Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay became the first two men to reach the top. Since then, this impossible climb has been completed by over 4,000 people. In 1993 a record was set when 40 people climbed to the top in one day. The impossible is made possible by brave individuals who remain steadfast while others adhere to the more comfortable, and popular lie of, "you can't." 

You don't have to be the worlds greatest rock climber or pilot for these words to be important. As artists, we deal with lies like this on a daily basis. To make matters worse, we hear these lies so often, we begin to repeat them internally, convincing ourselves each day that are dreams are impossible because everyone else believes they are. This way of thinking can destroy anyone, regardless of what level of talent you have.
