“Clear your mind of can’t.”
- Dr. Samuel Johnson
The best motivational tip I ever received was from . Though he’s long been gone, I can still remember to this day his mantra, “There’s no such word as can’t.”
The message stuck with me. This came from a man who quit school after eighth grade. He encouraged us and motivated us all during his life. He taught me that there was nothing I couldn’t do if I applied myself. Self-confidence goes a long way. Thanks to my dad, I’ve learned things and tried things without fear, but guided by an instinct to succeed. I can safely say that I have achieved at least one lifetime goal. I will always be grateful to the person who always supported me.
I encourage you to find the motivation within to sail past the “I can’t” and reach your goals.
