Have you ever told someone the reason why you can’t do something? What if they try to help you? Do you argue for your limitations?
We can be our own worst enemy. By saying that we can’t do something, we are making our own lives more difficult or miserable. Why do we do that?
If I say, “I can’t learn to use a computer,” I am telling you the problem I have. Then, if you say to me that you think I can learn to use a computer, you’d think I would hear you and agree. Maybe I could get curious and ask you why you think I can do it. I could look into courses, books or people who could help me learn.
However, many times we explain why we can’t use the computer. We might say that phrase about old dogs and tricks. Or maybe we note how we tried once and it did not work out well. Sometimes we might even resort to blaming someone else for not showing us in our youth.
Please, be a person who says they will give it a try. Be that person who will put some effort in and get started. Learn to grow and improve.
When we argue for our limitations, we usually get to keep them!
