Notice the speedometer shows that Simba is really driving the car!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Have you ever seen a dog drive a car?\u00a0 I have.\u00a0 My dog Simba has driven my 2007 Santa Fe as the picture above shows. Check out the speedometer in the picture and you will see it indicates the car is moving at 30 miles per hour.<\/p>\n

How does little Simba drive a car?<\/h4>\n

Simba can do this because he does not understand the meaning of the word \u201ccan\u2019t\u201d.\u00a0 His favorite word is \u201ccan\u201d, as in \u201cI can get a treat any time I want one, I can hide under the bed and not be seen, I can drive Mommy\u2019s car, and I can get some of the steak on the dinner table if I dance on my hind legs and look super cute\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Like Simba, I do not understand the word \u201ccan\u2019t\u201d.\u00a0 When someone tells me I am not capable of doing or can\u2019t do something, I find a way to do it.<\/p>\n

Which words do you understand, the words \u201ccan\u201d and \u201cwill\u201d or the words \u201ccan\u2019t\u201d and \u201cyou are not capable\u201d?<\/p>\n

If the words \u201ccan\u2019t\u201d and \u201cyou are not capable\u201d are in your vocabulary, you do not aspire to lofty goals.\u00a0 You do not believe you can succeed and overcome life\u2019s challenges.\u00a0 And you often fail at basic things.<\/p>\n

But if you understand the words \u201ccan\u201d and \u201cwill\u201d, you do aspire to reach high goals.\u00a0 Additionally, you do make your dreams come true and you do overcome life\u2019s challenges.\u00a0 And you do succeed in life!<\/p>\n

If you happen to believe the words \u201ccan\u2019t\u201d and \u201cyou are not capable\u201d and want to change your life, you can.\u00a0 All you have to do is change your thoughts because your thoughts determine your beliefs and actions.<\/p>\n

Believe like Simba that you can and you will succeed!<\/h4>\n
