What Do You Mean by Can't?

When we say we can't do something it can mean:
  • we have a conflict
  • we don't want to
  • we don't know how
  • we are not physically able
  • we don't have the qualifications
  • we are not geographically near the opportunity
  • we don't have permission
  • we don't have time
  • we don't have resources
  • we've already done it and it's a one-time opportunity
When it's something we'd like to pursue if the reasons above could be overcome, it's helpful to think in terms of I haven't rather than I can't. 

If I say that I haven't yet done something, it leaves the door open for barriers to achievement to be removed.
