Yes, I Can.

Historically, when people make reference to “three little words,” “Yes, I can” aren’t the words that come to mind. Recognizing that those words are important, I posit that these three words - YES, I CAN - are similarly as important, if not more so. Here is why.

In your life, you will face many challenges. Some you will choose to take on. Others will be visited upon you. When the path gets difficult, the easy choice would be to quit, to walk away, to let the challenge overtake you. However, if you decide that you CAN, that you will deal with the challenge no matter the level of physical, mental or emotional difficulty, you will succeed. Your path may not be even, or balanced, or straight, but you will reach the finish line.

Whether you repeat these words out loud or in your head, with the repetition, you will begin to believe it. It worked for the Little Engine that Could. It will work for you.

You’ve got this.
