Before you tell yourself what you can do, before you tell yourself what you can’t do, try it. Don’t just walk away. Don’t just give it up. Because you don’t even know what you can do. We think we know what we are good at, but we don’t.

When you are asked to do something, to learn something, don’t just say, “I can’t do it.” Because you don’t even know anything about what you are rejecting. The best thing to do is to think about it, study it. Don’t be scared. You can it. You can do it if you face it.

Yes, you can do it if you face it. Sometimes what we think we are not good at is really what we can do really well. Whatever it is that is chasing you, you must embrace it. Don’t ignore your opportunity to move to the next level. The things you don’t want to do are the things that can change your life. Why not do them?

Your life depends upon what you are doing right now. If you want to live a better life, a happier life, you must do what you are scared of doing. Do you have the courage to do it?
