I Can’t!
How many of us have said or heard the words “I Can’t”. All of us, and everyone is my guess.
I recommend the following: Follow you heart, don’t forget your dreams. Discipline is important. Understanding that effort + action will achieve results. Also research is important, spend a little time researching the “what & how” to do something . Put passion into this as well. Just don’t use the words “I Can’t”, because it isn’t true, you know … You Can!
Most mighty things – begin very small. Many great achievements were made with very slow and hesitant steps towards a goal. Success happened because those who achieved never stopped. Perhaps they’d regroup or pause and start over, but they never stopped.
I CAN
Don’t speak to me about can nots
Don’t try to stomp on my dreams,
I am who I am, and I feel what I feel,
And my words are all there in my Reams.
*
The Reams of my paper seem endless
My words upon words upon words,
But I’m true to myself and I’ll say what I say,
And do all that “I Can” to be heard.
*
I’ll never give up or stop trying,
Holding fast so that nothing can ban.
My dream is to write and so I shall write,
I will write for I know that – “I Can”!

Hold fast to your dreams, never let go, never stop.
Thank you for stopping by,

The Why About This 
But, but, but… 😉

How does that saying go RoSy … but me no buts, LOL! 🙂 xo
I NEEDED this! Thank you, I just had someone trying to get under my skin today and I needed some motivation ❤
Hi Kayla. I am so glad it made a difference. I know exactly what you mean, and I do understand!
You have no idea how much I need / needed this. I’ve had a massive crisis of confidence recently, in regard to not only my writing, but creativity in general, and this has popped up right at the perfect moment. Serendipitous indeed! Thank you! 🙂
I’m so glad it helped. I understand, completely! 🙂
I don’t use “I can’t” I use “I cannot” 😉
Seriously, I think “I will” is so much a better phrase
And I completely agree with you, Alastair! 🙂
