We at CLS are big fans of John Maxwell. In fact we are so enthusiastic about his materials that we are Certified Maxwell Coaches. He recently wrote a blog that we know you'll enjoy.
Stop Thinking “Can I?” and Start Thinking “HOW Can I?”
By John Maxwell
At first glance, the questions Can I? and How
Can I? may appear to be very similar. However, the reality is that they
are worlds apart in terms of results. Can I? is a question filled
with hesitation and doubt. It is a question that imposes limitations. If that
is the question you regularly ask yourself, you’re undermining your efforts
before you even begin. How many people could have accomplished much in life but
failed to try because they doubted and answered no to the question “Can I?”
When you ask yourself “How can I?” you give yourself a
fighting chance to achieve something. The most common reason people don’t
overcome the odds is that they don’t challenge them enough. They don’t test
their limits. They don’t push their capacity. How can I? assumes
there is a way. You just need to find it.
