4 “Can’ts” And How To Change Them

by Leave a Comment

Can't or Won't?I used to be the King of Can’t.  “I can’t do this,” or “We can’t do that” seemed to roll out of my mouth.

Almost all of them were lies.  Well, kind of.

They certainly were not true.  Instead, my “can’ts” were more about mindset and perception than reality.

“I can’t do this” is often less about an impossibility, and more about a lack of skill, lack of desire, or lack of responsibility.

In this week’s podcast, I want to share with you the 4 types of can’ts.  All but 1 are solvable.  And the one that isn’t?  It is the background noise, the given of life.  You simply move forward, in spite of that “can’t.”

Can I share with you the 4 “can’ts” and how to escape the “can’t” trap?

Join me as I try to abdicate my throne of Can’t.

ThrivingMindsetGlassesA mindset is like a pair of sunglasses.  It colors the world you see, but after just a few moments of wearing the glasses, you forget how the color is changed by the sunglasses.

Your mindset colors the world around you, affecting how you see and understand people and events.  It also affects how you react and respond to people and events.

Which mindset do you have?  Do you have a “failure to thrive” mindset or a “thriving” mindset?
