“I cannot”

January 12, 2020

“I cannot” – that’s readily said,

so quickly and so easily,

it hardly requires a thought,

only a motion of the tongue.

And a possibility is dead.

 

How would it have been,

if it had stayed alive?

 

Would it have made

the unexpected expected,

the unbelievable believable,

the desired available?

Would it have become part

of the meanings of the world

and become reality of

what was waiting to become reality?

 

“I cannot” – that’s readily said,

but look, I also can question the “I cannot,”

it hardly requires much energy,

only the will to overcome.

And a possibility is born.

How would it be

if it remained alive?

 

Would it change the unchangeable

unlock the locked,

awaken the sleeping?

Could it bring back

the difficult, the uncomfortable

but – seen within the meaning context

of the world – immensely blissful

“Yes, I can”?

 – Dr. Elisabeth Lukas

 

Simply changing “I cannot” to “Yes, I can” in our mind causes us to realize the potentiality of the goals we set for ourselves. – Dan
