Character

Yes You Can, But You Won’t

Language is important.

Replace (I can’t) with (I won’t) and see how that changes things.

One comes from a place of hopelessness

The other

From a place of empowerment,

One relinquishes ownership and the other reclaims it,

One outsources responsibility and the other assumes it

One is passive and dismissive

The other is active and engaging.

It’s a complete switch in perspective.

Reality is, your time is limited, so understanding value and what’s important will allow you to establish a set of priorities.

Then the challenge is keeping those priorities in order

Because when someone tells you they don’t have time, they are essentially saying is that it’s not a priority

So next time you find yourself saying (I can’t), check yourself!

Because, you can – you just don’t want to or aren’t willing enough to try.
