I still have a few things left that I keep in my "I won't" pile but this year has made me change many of them. Life with continuous learning and growing keeps us happier too! Great comment, Dawn!

A long time ago, I worked with a woman who told me every time I used "I can't" in a sentence to go back and change "can't" to "won't". She said, after changing the sentence, sit down and figure out why you won't do it. I've never forgotten that sage wisdom. To this day, I seldom utter the words "I can't". I now decide if I will or won't or do something and accept the responsibility for the decision I made. "I can't" relieves the utterer of responsibility. In an "I can't" format, it's a nebulous force out in the universe preventing forward movement. With "I won't", it lets us see WE are in charge of the direction of our lives. "'I can't' learn to use a computer becomes "'I won't' learn to use a computer." Really changes the tone of the sentence doesn't it? We all need to figure out the "I won'ts" in our lives. It isn't some dastardly force preventing us from excelling. It is our own perceptions. Julie –

Great series.

A long time ago, I worked with a woman who told me every time I used “I can’t” in a sentence to go back and change “can’t” to “won’t”. She said, after changing the sentence, sit down and figure out why you won’t do it. I’ve never forgotten that sage wisdom.

To this day, I seldom utter the words “I can’t”. I now decide if I will or won’t or do something and accept the responsibility for the decision I made.

“I can’t” relieves the utterer of responsibility. In an “I can’t” format, it’s a nebulous force out in the universe preventing forward movement. With “I won’t”, it lets us see WE are in charge of the direction of our lives.

“‘I can’t’ learn to use a computer becomes “‘I won’t’ learn to use a computer.” Really changes the tone of the sentence doesn’t it?

We all need to figure out the “I won’ts” in our lives. It isn’t some dastardly force preventing us from excelling. It is our own perceptions.
