Yes I Can ( Motivational Talk) by Rhymez(m): 12:16pm On Sep 27, 2012
Most of the time when we say, "I can't, " what we actually mean is, "I could if I wanted to, but I don't want to. " Most of the time when we say, "I have to, " we really mean, "I don't want to, but I'm going to. "
We limit our power of choice and free will by habitually using "can't" and "have to." By admitting at least to ourselves that we "don't want to " rather than "can't, and we "choose to" rather than "have to," we build our integrity by not trying to fool ourselves. The " I have tos" can push you into the burnout of messiahship , and the " I can'ts" can keep you chained to impotence.

What if George Washington, buried in the snows of Valley forge, had said, "I can't" ?

What if Franklin D. Roosevelt, struck down with infantlile paralysis, had said, " I can't "?

What if Glenn Cunningham, who at age 3 was burned so severely in a schoolhouse fire that doctors said he would never walk again, had said, " I can't"?(In 1934 Cunningham set the world's record for a mile: 4 minutes, 6.8 seconds.)

What if Martin Luther King Jr., born black in a society filled with racial discrimination, had said, " I can't"?

What if Madame Curie, who was told, " Science is not for women," had said, " I can't"?

What if Max Cleland, who lost both legs and an arm in Vietnam, had said, " I can't"?(Cleland became head of the Veteran's Administration.)

What if Grandma Moses, who at age 80 was told she was too old to start painting, had said, " I can't"?

What if John Milton, blind at age 44, had said, " I can't"? (Sixteen years later Milton wrote Paradise Lost.)

What if Nelson Mandela who was jailed because he was fighting for the freedom of his people, had said, "I can't"?(He later became President of South-Africa), to mention a few. If these people can do it why not YOU?Yes You can!
