“Can’t vs. Won’t? When you won’t, don’t!” ~ John Pacheco
This one may take a little thinking. I recently had a discussion with someone about whether they “could” or “would” do something. I think the distinction is pretty important. If you “can,” that means you’ve got the ability. The question for them was, whether they “would” do it – that would take motivation, willingness and action on their part. Now, flip it over to the negative. I “can’t” do it means you don’t have the ability or are unable to do it. I “won’t” means, even though you may be able to do it, you’ve made a firm decision that you “won’t.” So again, when you make up your mind and you won’t, don’t! Peace, John
We haven’t had a guest blogger now in a month or two. What’s stopping you? I invite you to become a guest blogger. It’s easy – find a quote that speaks to you and write a few sentences about it, what it means to you, or what it means in general. Send it all to me in an email with the subject line reading “Guest blogger.” I will review and publish it, with gratitude, and with the hope that others will benefit from it as well. If you need some help, I can furnish you with a quote or several to pick from – I have hundreds of them. Let me know. Peace, John
