I can't

Holy cow! My client said "I can't" this morning. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. That's the polite version of my response. In fact, she was doing fine with what I asked her to do. Yet at the precise moment she was finished with the exercise, her mind gave out (or gave up on her) and she uttered those dreadful words. Why are they dreadful? Because "I can't" easily morphs to "I won't". And "I won't" is another way of saying "I don't want to". At least that's a more honest response then "I can't". If you say "I won't/I don't want to" to me, than we can discuss why you don't want to or you won't. Potentially from this conversation, I can understand you more. Unfortunately for you, if you say "I can't" in front of me, I will spend eternity showing you that in fact you can. Yup, that's a funny little quirk of mine. Do you want to spend eternity with me? Not too enticing? Well, not to me either with that attitude of yours. Oh kidding, c'mon.

Gosh darn it, of course you can! And you will! Do you want to? Your motivation is all that matters. You hired me to help you and I will, trust me on that. I believe in my clients, my students, my friends, my colleagues and myself. There's always a way. Maybe the way is a baby step, a change of attitude, a physical strengthening. Who knows what the how is? What I know is that if you say you can't, you're right and if you say you can, you're right too.
Which right do you want to be? Which path do you choose?

And for your own personal safety, I suggest you not use those words in front of me.
:)
I'm joking.
not.

In health and yes you can!,
