WHAT'S IN YOUR "CAN"?

I Can There are so many people out there saying they can or cannot do something? Don't you love it when you meet someone with an "I CAN" attitude? No these folks are not bragging, they are simply saying that they will do whatever they can to find a solution or to try and make something happen.

It seems rare to find these types of "I Can" people and I always wonder why? Is it just easier to say "I can't" and just leave it at that?

I hope to be an "I Can" type of person. Pro-active, solution oriented, positive and of course willing to go out of my way to help. I may not always be successful in my attempt to assist someone but I will do my level best to help.

Perhaps it is time to look into your "CAN" and make sure that it is full of a willing spirit and a good amount of positive attitude. Fill your "CAN" with the good stuff and you will be amazed in how people will respond to you.

Take the garbage out of the "CAN"! No Stinkin Thinkin allowed! Have a productive and an "I CAN" week!

I love it too so long as the person puts in the effort and stops talking about how he or she"can do it"

Paula~I love the "I Can" attitude.Thanks for the inspirational message this morning, although it's going to take days for me now to be able to open a can and not wonder if there's an "EYE" in there.:)

Have an AWESOME day!

Paula, Sometimes it's so much easier to just start to do something rather than sweating all the reasons we "can't" do something. Before you know it, the task is done :)

I can keep this post in my head all day and I can suggest it too. I can now get off the computer and do something I am putting off. Thanks.

Paula,

I can is much better than saying I'll try, which leaves you halfway between nothing and something... g

Thanks all. I hope that your CAN has been full today and everyday. When I feel myself wanting to say that I Can't, I always stop myself and re-think my comment. It does make you think before you speak. So important to convey this attitude to my clients.

I got a new necklace that has charms you can attach and I picked a charm that says I CAN because I have this same attitude and want to get the cant out of my vocabulary
