I Can!

I was taught at a young age that "there is no such word as 'can't.'" I ingested that and even friends and family commented that I was willing to "try" anything. Later in years, I learned that there is no such thing as, "try." I either "will" or I "won't!"

Preceding the outer action is an inner decision.

"It is in these moments (of decision) that our destiny is shaped." - Tony Robbins

Another way to look at "I can," is to realize "I am capable." I can choose my heart's desires and be assured that I can attain them. Thus, I have an unlimited panorama to reach for the stars.

There are no excuses. If we sit on an excuse, we will probably only make it hatch into a batch of more excuses.

When I first began writing, I was using third person. "You will..." understand, find satisfaction, attain... etc. A dear friend pointed out that the use of "you" could be considered pointing a finger at someone else. This affected my surrounding world, as well. When I acknowledged that pointing one finger at someone else leaves the other three pointing back at me, I knew that my declarations for others have a prerequisite to begin with me.

The preliminaries are easy. I can make decisions and I can choose no excuses in order to to make accomplishments. Once I am this far, I can accomplish anything I desire. There is no such thing as can't, try, if. Those are only shadows and not real. The reality is I can choose to...!

Therefore, I can choose to enjoy life every moment. Others have asked, " How can I enjoy every moment to the fullest?" I can commune with God any time, anywhere, under any circumstances. I can attain the attitude of acceptance. I may not do this "in awareness" every moment. I am simply saying "I can." And, with that declaration/prayer, I accept that I Am (enjoying every moment...) Even if I grumble occasionally, it is surface stuff, not the "every moment joy" that sustains me! (I can choose whether to share this admittance with you.)

I can believe in God as Love. I can be enthusiastic in everything I do. I can offer my gifts to others. I can achieve power and greatness. I can love my "neighbor." I can meet any circumstance with calmness. I can attain my heart's desire. I can live a healthy, full, satisfying life. I can... nnn
