“I don’t know if I can…” Before you finish that sentence, think about what was just said. Sometimes we don’t realize that these simple phrases and sentences that we consider to be normal, are really bad for us. Yes, sometimes we won’t know whether we can or not. I’m not saying that, what I am saying is why not make the choice to say “I’ll try and see what happens” “I’ll give it a shot” Let me know what other phrases or sentences you can use instead of “I don’t know if I can…”

Deep down we are all afraid of falling short. We all have dreams and ambitions, things we would love to accomplish. What happens if we never accomplish those things? Let me tell you a little story about a friend of mine. He grew up always expecting the worst. He never thought he could accomplish anything because he was caught in a cycle of thinking, telling himself he would never succeed. He never went after the girl he wanted, he never applied for the jobs he wanted, and he never told people how he really felt. That all changed one day when someone told him, “bro you’re looking at it wrong instead of looking for reasons why it won’t work out. Start building and looking for reasons why it will”. From that day on his mindset switched and he realized the key to overcoming the fear of failure, was to change you mindset from “what if it doesn’t work out” to “what if will I have to do so it does work out” Overcoming failure isn’t easy but by slowing down and reframing your mind you’ll be able to brainstorm how to get past it Go out and be inspirational today 🤞🏾 - Woanyen
