May 22, 2019 - Is "can't" stopping you? Are you attempting to accomplish something that is being met with naysayers or can’t doers? Are you hesitating to take action because of internal doubts or a part of you believing what others are
saying cannot be done? If you have conceived it, even if you don’t know all the steps, you can achieve it. If you believed enough to conceive it, then the only thing that is stopping you is you.
Take an MM&I Moment to reawaken your belief in yourself and what you want to achieve. Make a list of all the reasons why you want to accomplish this. Make a list of why others are wrong in their assumptions that it cannot be done. Make a list of others you admire who accomplished what others stated could not be done. Finally, make a list of simple steps you can take now to continue forging forward.
Conscientious Action Nurtures Desired Outcomes … THIS is what CAN DO means and can do for you!
