If you find your self saying I can’t do something then you are right. You can’t.
We are the the ones that determine our own future. Many years ago I read a book titled, ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’ by Robert Kiyosaki. In the book his poor dad used to say things like “we can’t afford that”. His Rich dad would turn it around to, “How can we afford that”?
When we ask a question we think about how something can be accomplished. When we make a statement we have decided it’s not possible.
If I ask my client whether they can achieve a certain goal and I am given the answer I can’t do that. My response will always be, Why?
Why can’t you Bench Press 100kg?
Why can’t you lose 20kg,
Why can‘t you lose 10% bodyfat?
Why can‘t you compete in a competition?
I may be given an answer, but the answer is always riddled with excuses based on failures in the past.
If the question is how can I achieve losing 20kg? The answers will come because the mind is open to problem solving.
The answer may be challenging and it may require some degree of discipline and decisiveness but at least we have an answer to a question.
Not a self defeating statement.
Maybe you don’t have an answer. Maybe you need help. Maybe you need a mentor or coach.
Never dismiss something as not possible when you could make it happen with a plan and a decision to follow the plan.
We as coaches can give you a pathway but its up to you to take the path.
