Default One word that can change your reality

I came across this blog today and this really stands out

Here's a link to the entire post:

One Word that Can Change Your Reality and Perception of What Is Possible | Self Made Chick

The One Word
The word that I almost completely removed from my vocabulary was “CAN’T” and the word I replaced it with was “WON’T.”

I’m telling you, this sounds so simple and perhaps inconsequential until you actually try it yourself.

Look at the difference in these two sentences:

“I can’t get enough leads to make enough sales.”
“I won’t get enough leads to make enough sales.”

The second statement begs the question – Well Why Not? Why won’t you get enough leads to make the sales you want to make? Not motivated enough? Not willing to do what it takes to get those leads? Don’t believe you can really be successful? Plenty of people CAN get enough leads to make enough sales, so it’s not a REAL can’t.

You are so right!! "Can't" is one of the first words we learn when we're little, and it has so much power to make us believe it's true when we use it! But it's usually not -- "won't" is what we're usually talkin' about.
