Don't Say Can't

Life is a whole lot mental, we are how we think, so we should think about how we are.

Don't say can't,
especially to the ant.
Before he gives up,
he'll hustle and pant,
even walk with a slant.
In the spirit of the ant,
I love to enchant.

Nothing is too heavy I chant,
I'll carry the load even if I can't.
Knowing that it is too heavy to lift,
back to the ant I shift.
I beg my pardon swift,
I'm no ant with a gift.

Mentally I can do,
physically there's less gradeur.
I have to face reality,
humans do have fragility.
But it's great not to say can't,
chalk one up for the ant.

Good advice. Saying I can't means I won't try. You will not do what you need to do and then wonder why. Even if you do not always succeed you will have the knowledge that you tried.
God Bless,
Lew

"...chalk one up for the ant." One you got that right to a T.
On too many occassions to count I have done just that observed the mighty ant. If an individual checks out an ant and how diligent of a worker it is not to mention helpful (teamwork and all) they could learn a great lesson. An ant prepares for all things, however I thoroughly enjoyed this read as always.

Many blessings to you brother and you take good care of yourself,
