When You Think You Can

It seems whenever we are faced with something that feels like it's beyond our ability we automatically go into the 'I can't do it' syndrome before we even consider the possibility that we really can.
Too often we give up on ourselves before we even start having less faith in ourselves than others have in us or we have in others.Recently, I was talking to a frined who did the 3 Day Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. The goal was 60 miles a day and her fisrt thoughts after she arrived at the event were, "There's no way I can do that. I haven't prepared enough, I am not in shape." Quite simply, she was scared and overwhelmed by the task ahead of her.Well, three days later and two really sore, blistered feet, she did it, along with thousands of others, who probably echoed those same words before they satrted out.

I can't speak for the thousands of others who completed the walk, but I know how proud and joyful my friend was when she was done. It was absolutely a monumental evnet in her life and I was thrilled for her and the accomplishment.It's that joy and proud feeling that makes your journey from I can't, to I can, to I did, so worthwhile. You deserve to prove to yourself that you absolutely can move forward when faced with any circumstances that seem daunting and impossible.Yes, your fears will show up when new opportunities present thesmelves and that's good!

It means you're expanding yourself and the more you expand the more you build on your strengths. When you pull back from what you fear, you end up with an ongoing list of things to fear, which in turn, keeps you spending more and more time living in that fear and the world of I can't.You simply need to embrace the fear, think it, hear it, learn from it and then march on through to the other side. You are not your fears. Your desires, dreams, hopes, aspirations are who you're and you deserve all of them.There will awlays be excuses as to why you can't and it's up to you to realize that's all they are, excuses. When you want something bad enough, when you know in your haert of hearts you've got to find a way, you will.
You absolutely will. And, once you're in total alignment with the 'I CAN' through your thoughts, feelings, words and actions, you're just one step away from, I DID IT!
