It is my personal opinion that there are two words that are the driving force behind your personally achieving your ultimate outcome and your WHY in Life. These two words are the most powerful words that you can and will ever speak to yourself about any situation - "CAN" and "CAN'T" As I've said many times, "CAN" is a word of power; whereas, "CAN'T" is a word of retreat.

CAN VERSUS CAN'T
1. CAN VERSUS CAN'T
It is my personal opinion that there are two words that are the driving force behind your personally
achieving your ultimate outcome and your WHY in Life. These two words are the most powerful words
that you can and will ever speak to yourself about any situation - "CAN" and "CAN'T" As I've said many
times, "CAN" is a word of power; whereas, "CAN'T" is a word of retreat.
You have the power to decide if you wish to ACHIEVE or RETREAT, because when you speak victory
words such as "I CAN", you will attain whatever you set out to do regardless of what others are saying to
you. In another article, I made reference to famous entrepreneurs such as Ray Kroc, Fred Astaire, Walt
Disney and Dick Clark. I can attest to the fact that if you spoke with each of them individually, they
would tell you that in the beginning of their journey the majority of people told them ----you CAN'T do
that! Fortunately, they disregarded these statements and listened to their inner voice, who said, "Oh
yes I CAN!"
The key in life is to realize the most important person who speaks to you every day is you on the inside!
You need to review your WHY in Life and see if your are on track toward achieving your WHY, or are you
on a detour because someone told you, "You CAN'T do that so stop dreaming and just forget about it!"
As a personal mindset builder, you need to speak to your inner person and say to yourself, "Today I will
take another productive stride!"
Each morning, I visualize myself winning. My personal outcome for each day is to build a community of
people who we can inspire and motivate all of us to make the world a better place in which to live. I
have to admit if it was not for my inner person saying, "John you CAN do it! YOU CAN do it!" I may not
be in the position of success that I am today. Some days it is still difficult, but guess what -- we ARE
doing it!
In summary, you need to ask yourself a very honest question, "Am I listening to my victory words from
the inside or am letting the outer defeat (loser) words control my outcome in life?"
