I believe you can do anything if you try hard enough.

I Don’t Accept I Can’t
 
Every time someone tells me that I can’t.
I think of the huge load carried by a little ant.
When they say, “Don’t you wish you could?”
I think of the little train that eventually would.
 
When they say, “You’ll never achieve it, you’ll see.”
I think of the remarkable Bumblebee.
 I don’t accept I can’t and I never will.
For if you work hard enough, you can fill the bill.
 
Nothing is impossible; it can be done if you try.
When you finally achieve it, you’ll be flying high.
 
Written by,
Bonnie May

You mind did it again with this one. It tells us a lot and to never give up and keep plugging on. Hang in there is what I have to say too. **********

Good advice from the wise one. I just want to add, "If I can't do it, I'll ask Bill and he'll do it."

Love,
Connie

I've used "I think I can" so many times to put forth that extra effort to make it all happen. Yes, what you think is where you go. Great write. Liz

Bonnie,

"I can't" should be stricken from the lexicon. Well done! Sometimes, we just have to do things differently - it can be done!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
