Here’s my tip o’ the week to ye on this fine St. Patrick’s Day.

Ban the word “can’t” from your vocabulary

It’s a negative, a downer, a statement of fact.  It gives you the okey dokey to fail, to quit.

Instead use phrases that convey the dedication and effort you are putting forth “I’m getting there” or “I’m working as hard as I can” or better yet “as God is my witness, I will do a military push up”.

Try this the next time you are having difficulty completing a task, whether it’s running, at a Boot Camp class or trying to build something impossible with those teeny tiny little Legos.

Now go run!
