< Go Back I CAN!!! Posted: Aug 11, 2023 “I can’t do…..
( this, that, the other….. ) !?”
Is there a physical
reason? Is there an emotional reason? Is
it self belief or self sabotage?
Are you afraid
of trying in case you fail? Why can’t you achieve that particular goal?
Maybe its finances..
you can’t afford it…. a very valid reason indeed but still able to get past if
you can get a loans or investment.
A large part of
the matter depends what you are facing and your attitude towards it….
Do you need to
get past it? Do you need to get through
it? Or more to the point… How much do you really WANT to?
WANT and NEED
are very big motivators.. If you DON’T WANT
to do something – nothing will MAKE you but if you WANT to do something – nothing
will STOP you.
“Okay Big
Shot… easy said….!” do I hear some say??
Nothing comes
easy, as my old Pappy used to say? “the harder it is to get, the better the
reward” … I probably wouldn’t go that far but luck does have a way of making
you work for something as a rule!
We can all fall
at the first hurdle, second hurdle…10th hurdle.. but if you fall
down 10 times get up 11.
You cannot
control others, the way the world works… everything outside of you is beyond
your control. The only thing you CAN
control, have any right to control… is YOU.
You can control what you do, whether you give up or put it aside for
now. If you let go of the need to
control and offer to lead instead, others may choose to follow. There are many positive options available to
you at any given point (despondency is not one of them!)
That said
aside, Giving up isn’t the same as Giving in.
There does come a time when you have to let somethings go…. And in those
circumstances, you take a DIFFERENT PATH. Like the hole in the road, walk round it,
mend it, or take a different route, you wouldn’t just keep falling down into it!
So… you’ve fell
into the hole…. Who is going to get you
out and what did you learn from it? If
you are helped out, that’s good… or is it? It is nice to be helped out but what
if you fall in again? Did you learn how
to avoid the hole or get out next time? Did
you learn? If it was done for you…
possibly not but if you learned from it or got yourself out … you feel better
about it. The important part is learning
and understanding, finding out, feeling your way. There’s an achievement in that alone, part of
the growing, part of the learning can provide you with a pride in yourself. We are afraid to fail… but failure isn’t about
falling, it is about not trying again or worse…. not trying at all.
