One of my mom's favorite expressions was, "A person who says can't is a coward too lazy to try." For years this made absolutely no sense to me. Take a moment to give this expression a little thought, though, and it makes all the sense in the world.
We can do anything we want to do if we only believe we can and try. The very moment you tell yourself you "can't" do something then you have told yourself there is no reason to even try. You may tell yourself you can and later find out you cannot or you need help, but at least you tried!
I have been amazed over the years at the things I have discovered I can do simply because I told myself I can and tried. At times it did not work out exactly the way I planned; at times I needed assistance. At no time have I been a "coward too lazy to try."
"Whether you think you can or think you can't - you are right."
