“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
