Thought for Thursday 2 May 2013: No such word as can't

I remember my Father saying to me often throughout my life "There's no such word as can't!" (to which I just now realize I should have pointed him towards a dictionary because there clearly is). He liked the saying though and you know what, it helped....

When I tried to play golf

When I was learning to ride a bicycle

The first time I went skiing

My first venture across a playgrounds monkey bars.

Even recently when I was learning to ride a Yike Bike (don't know what that is? Check them out here)

Often when I'm struggling to do something new I will hear the words in my head "Yes you can, there's no such word as can't!" and I power on.

I believe I can do anything that I put my mind to. Do you?
