You Can’t Do That

If you listened every time someone said “you can’t do that” there would be a lot of things you wouldn’t do. You would have a big list of missed opportunities. The number of successes you managed to avoid would be impressive. You would be a spectacular failure. In fact you would be the envy of non-achievers all over the world.

So if you want to achieve something in life then you have to block out these voices telling you that you’ll fail. Pay them no attention. Avoid being distracted by their arguments against your goals. Leave their negativity to them.

Of course you still have to consider your options intelligently, but if you think it’s the right thing to do – then do it.

Don’t wait for the permission or approval of others.
