When They Tell You "You Can't"

By

⁤


Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you were SO completely in your element then someone came along and doubted you? How did that make you feel? We've all been there. ⁤⁤Someone looks you in the eye and says, "You can't do it." ⁤⁤Those words can cut deep, whether it's a dream, a goal, or a simple task. ⁤⁤In those moments of doubt, you must embrace the opportunity to discover your strength and full potential. ⁤

⁤The Moment of Self-Doubt ⁤

⁤


When someone tells you you can't, it's easy to fall into a spiral of self-doubt. ⁤⁤You might start to think what if they're right? ⁤⁤Sitting on the metaphorical couch of life, the child in you begins to feel small and incapable. You wonder, "What was I thinking." ⁤⁤Know this, it is only a phase. ⁤ Don't throw in the towel quite yet. By that, I mean do quit in defeat. The phrase "throw in the towel" comes from the arena of boxing. A fighter indicates surrender by requesting that a towel be thrown into the ring.

⁤The Spark of Anger ⁤

⁤


Some people let a spark of anger ⁤⁤fuel the fire within to motivate them. "How dare they doubt me?" ⁤⁤This anger is not a negative emotion but a powerful catalyst. ⁤⁤It is the fuel for your determination. ⁤⁤See it as the universe challenging you to rise above the doubters and prove them all wrong. ⁤But, don't get arrogant. Seek professional guidance and set small, achievable goals. These will keep you grounded and focused.

⁤The Clarity of Vision ⁤

⁤


Amidst the scruple, there is always a moment of clarity. ⁤⁤If you take time to seek support from friends, family and mentors, it can catapult you to the next level. Your support system is an invaluable resource. Never overlook the value they bring to you. Take time to reflect and adjust your approach. Soon, you will realize what you need to do. ⁤⁤Your eye-popping moment is where the path to overcoming obstacles becomes clear. ⁤⁤Focus on this vision and let it guide your actions. ⁤

⁤Full Circle of Doubt ⁤


⁤Realize that even after you've charted your course, doubts, and fear, may still creep in. ⁤⁤The cycle is certainly relentless. ⁤⁤But remember, the journey to success is not a straight line. ⁤⁤It's filled with ups and downs, moments of doubt and moments of clarity. ⁤⁤Welcome the process. ⁤⁤Each step in this tug of war, whether forward or backward, brings you closer to your goal. ⁤

⁤Embrace the Journey ⁤

⁤I tell you this, every "you can't" is an opportunity to challenge yourself—to push your limits and redefine what's possible for you. ⁤⁤The next time someone doubts you or tells you that you can't, remember, you hold the power to prove them wrong. ⁤

⁤Stay strong, stay focused, and keep moving forward. ⁤⁤Your journey is only beginning. ⁤

Finding Balance: 5 Tips to Reduce Stress

By
In today's fast-paced world, achieving a work-life balance is a challenge many face. Juggling work, family, and personal time can often lead to stress, leaving us feeling overwhelmed and burnout. To help navigate these challenges, I've compiled five practical tips that have personally helped me reduce stress and find balance in my daily life. 1. Stay Hydrated Staying hydrated might seem simple, but its impact on stress levels is significant. I remember a particularly hectic week at work where deadlines were looming, and I was running on caffeine and adrenaline. It wasn't until I started feeling dizzy and unfocused that I realized I had barely drank any water. Once I made a conscious effort to hydrate regularly, I noticed a remarkable improvement in my energy levels and overall mood. Tip: Keep a water bottle at your desk and set reminders to drink water throughout the day. 2. Be Kind to Yourself We are often our harshest critics, which can exacerbate stress. During a partic...

A Visit to Toronto’s First Black Church: Happy Black History Month

By
Faith is a huge part of Black culture. On the last Sunday of Black History Month, I took the liberty of visiting Toronto’s first Black church and establishment—First Baptist Church.  It was a true jubilee. Rev. Dr. Wendell Gibbs's message was powerful and deeply moving. He reminded us of our identity in Christ, declaring, “Black history didn’t begin with slavery or emancipation but in the Genesis beginning.” He also spoke of “The anguish of our ancestors… those who died [so we could have] peace… May humanity never again perpetrate such injustice against humanity. [And] we… vow[ed] to uphold this.” The service reached a pivotal moment when the congregation joined the choir in singing: I’m no longer a slave to fear I am a child of God. Founded in 1826 by formerly enslaved people who sought refuge in Canada, First Baptist Church has long stood as a pillar of the Black community. While the original congregation laid its foundation nearly two centuries ago, the current building, complet...
