Never have I found a word that I hate more than can't. Throughout the world's darkest history it has been there. "Jews can't visit theaters." "Blacks can't sit in the front of the bus." "Women can't vote." "Drug addicts can't stop." "Children can't make a difference." "You can't ..."
This list goes on and on.
Each time I hear can't, it's an instant challenge to me. If you tell me I can't as in I'm not capable of doing something, you better step back because it's going to to happen, and no one could stand in my way. I am not going to have my talents and abilities hindered by another person's impression of me. They don't know what's in my heart. They don't know what I'm capable of, and they don't know my God, with whom anything is possible.

These people never listened to the can'ts in their lives. They didn't stop doing what they love simply because the world through an obstacle in their path. Writers don't give up on their novel when the publisher turns them down, and journalists in Egypt and Libya aren't turning back, even though the people are turning against them.
Life is continually throwing obstacle in your path that have the potential to keep you from your dreams. Whatever you do in life, never let any of these bumps stop you from chasing after your dream. God has given you those dreams. He has placed them in your heart for a reason. He is not going to let you trip and tumble down the cliff of failure. He is always there. If you stumble, his hand is always there to catch you and lift you back up again. Reach out and go for your dream! Never stop chasing, never let anything or anyone hinder your passion and drive.
