You can’t do that! WHAT?
A friend and I were just talking and, I don’t even know how we got on the subject, but we started talking about signing our names…
Weird topic – but stick with me here and you’ll see why I’m all fired up…
My friend said, “When I was little, I was the girl that would sign my name and take up like half the page when I did it…”
Then she continued…
“Until one day when my grandmother saw me and she said, ‘You can’t do that!’”
You can’t do that…
How many times have you heard those exact words?
How many times did you hear them — or something a lot like them — before you were 10 years old?
I guarantee you can’t count how many times!
And here’s the deal…
When people say that to you, for the most part, there really truly are trying to protect you from something (at least in their own minds)…
But let’s get real…
YOU CAN’T DO THAT has to be the worst 4 letter phrase around!
Then my friend said the most amazing thing — and this is the thing I really want you to think about…
She said, “Sometimes I look back and think that I wish I was still that girl…”
Here’s the truth…
You CAN DO THAT (assuming you aren’t hurting anyone please) AND even if you used to do that and stopped when you were told that you couldn’t do that…
You are STILL that person…
THAT is still the essence of you — even if it’s a bit buried, that is still who you are!
How can you reclaim that essence?
What are some of the things you were told you couldn’t do?
RECLAIM THEM!
I can’t wait for your comments on this one!
Go Big!
