Can’t or won’t?

When my siblings and I were growing up we weren’t allowed to say “I can’t”. If we did we had to scrub the toilet. As a child I was SUPREMELY annoyed with that rule. Now, as an adult there’s two words I loath; try and can’t. The most irritating words in the English language! There is no such thing as “try” and there’s no such thing as “can’t”. You either do or don’t or give up. That’s what those words mean. “I tried and I can’t do it” means “I’m a giant pussy that gave up when it got hard!” Can’t and try are victim words. I know because I used to use those two A LOT. Boo hoo I tried poor Taylor. The truth is you I didn’t try, you didn’t try, no one just tries. Unless you’re talking about a new restaurant or outfit “try” shouldn’t exist because you either do something or you fucking don’t. It’s that simple. Same with can’t. I physically can’t sprout wings and hooves and become a Pegasus, but generally we as people are capable of just about anything we fucking want. Sometimes we might need to ask for help getting there, but you CAN accomplish whatever you want. Can’t and try come from people who want to stay stuck exactly where they are and suck up as much pity from outsiders as they can. I hate a “I can’t do it” type of person. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. You ever think you “can’t do it” because you keep thinking like that? What if you thought “I’m fully capable of doing this even though it’s hard”? What if you quit trying to be victim of every circumstance in you life and instead be a survivor and actually accomplish something? What if you quit “trying” and actually just fucking did something? What if you quit thinking “I can’t” and had the mindset of “I can do anything”? You think maybe just maybe your circumstances might actually change? Maybe then you can quit playing the victim and actually take charge of your life? Maybe then you can actually love the life you’ve been gifted. Maybe then you can take pride in what you’ve accomplished. Maybe then you can find your happiness. Quit limiting yourself. Quit trying and just do it. Quit giving up when shit gets hard and pretending like you gave it your all. Quit lying to yourself. I see through that bullshit and so does everyone else. Drop the fucking act and actually do what you say you’re going to. You’ll be amazed at what you can accomplish if you just believe in your self.
