Listen to Your Language: When You Say, "I Could Never..."
A year ago I vividly remember having a conversation and saying, "I could never do that." As the words were leaving my mouth, they seemed magnified and sounded off like an alarm saying, "Oh, but you could! And, hey, you probably WILL." It's happened enough times over the past 10 years that I knew to pay attention, to not hold myself back, and to just allow whatever might come of it to be whatever it would be.
And here I am a year later, facing this huge "never" and admitting that, hey, maybe I can actually do this. And, hey, maybe I even WANT to.
We have so much more potential, strength, and bravery than we will ever know. Life forcing us to face the "nevers" is one way we can realize how powerful we actually are.
