How often have you started to do something only to hear the inner voice say, "You can't do that - you don't know how....." When I started my first newspaper The New Times, several people said this to me: "You can't do that. You don't know how. You don't know what you're doing." To which I replied, "I have never let that stop me before! Why start now?"
It is easy to listen to that voice, the one that says we don't have enough _____________ (fill in the blank) to do whatever it is we're inspired to do. Usually it is money, experience, friends, education, smarts, contacts - whatever! I call this I can't-itis. The cure? Do it anyway!
There was a day when you didn't know how to do the things you do today: walk, run, read, talk, pray, meditate, do yoga...if you let not knowing how to do something stop you, guess what? You'll never do anything! And what a waste of a life that would be!
