Has Someone Ever Told You "You Can't Do That" Watch This

Think about it, on your journey along your life's roadway. Has someone steered you in a direction that you didn't intend to go by saying something like "don't be stupid", "your crazy", "you can't do that".

Life is a risk, and if you are going to get ahead, you have to take risks. Don't listen to the nay sayers, but do watch this short little video.

So, what do you think? The world would be a different place if those mentioned in the video... listened.

Take a chance!

That's what's wrong!!!! Thanks so much!!! Everyone keeps telling me how well I'll do - they just need to tell me I'll fail, and I'll try harder ..... RIGHT? (Actually, that's probably not far from the truth for most of us .....)

Thanks for sharing this. So many of us have been told we can't do something and we just need to be determined to move ahead no matter what they say. As long as we have the desire we can make it happen.

A few failures allow you to enjoy your success even more once you're there! I've had my share for sure! Thanks for the positive messages Al & Peggy!

I was told "you will never make it on your own" -when I announced that I would be leaving my ERA office and opening my own independent office after being in the real estate business for only 3 years. Everyone was sure that there was no way I could survive without a brand name on my card... and I too said "watch me." 4 years later- they are still watching me. No one knows what you can do... until you do it. Thanks for the words of inspiration in your post!

Al & Peggy, I have not seen this clip before... Our desire is "our strength" and enables us to reach the "unreachable"

Our Family Wants To Help Your Family!

Why is that Michelle? When you hear someone coming into real estate they always say their family and friends advise them not too. Very strange.

Good for you Cameron that is a winning spirit!

That is the hardest step don't you think Glenn, the step that takes you out of your comfortable place.

Your right Dagny, must be the competitive spirit!

Good point Samantha stay focused on our desires. Take what others say under consideration but stay on your own plan.

If you have had your share of problems Wanda than you should be on clear sailing now, well at least for awhile! LOL

Congratulations Paula, love to hear things like this. Stand Proud Girl!

Your right Irene, failures do make you stronger. Learning the lesson from them is most important.

This is true for us to Jennifer. We think for the kids too because whenever we say don't they do LOL!

We think 'can't' shouldn't be in anyone's vocabulary Michael

To reach the unreachable star right Chris?

Al and Peggy - A very motivating and true video. Thomas Edison did over 1,000 attempts at inventing the light bulb until he got it right.

Great video, I've never seen it. I didn't know this about any of those people. I've always been fascinated that Bill Gates was a college drop-out.

Al & Peggy, never saw this before but always believed the senitment...there's something about people telling me I can't do something...it's not that I have to prove them wrong...it is that I believe in myself and if I do fail it wasn't for lack of trying.

I remember when I wanted to become a Realtor. Everyone except my marketing guru/husband said that I was too old to start a new career. Good thing I didn't listen to them. There's a reason why you love someone, and it's usually because they support you unconditionally and will do whatever they can to help you be successful.

All my life people have been telling me that I can't do something, beginning with my mother.
