I CAN’T make you happy, or angry, or sad – those are your
feelings, and your responsibility - not mine
I CAN’T please everyone
I CAN’T save the world
I CAN’T be everything to everyone, and not lose myself in
the process
I CAN’T go through life without making mistakes
I CAN’T be perfect
Heck, I CAN’T even be ALMOST perfect

BUT

I CAN smile and laugh and love
I CAN be compassionate
I CAN be empathetic
I CAN be kind to others
I CAN be kind to myself
I CAN treat people with respect - even when they act in a
way that is disrespectful
I CAN behave in a way that brings joy to others... IF they’ll
accept that joy
I CAN make a difference
I CAN be sunshiny and bright
I CAN drive myself to be the best I can be and yet…
I CAN also accept myself as GREAT the way that I am
I CAN choose to see the best in others
I CAN take time for myself and not feel guilty
I CAN do more than I ever imagined – physically, mentally, and
emotionally
I CAN sing and dance when no one is watching
I CAN sing and dance when EVERYONE is watching
I CAN be strong
I CAN be ripped
I CAN be crazy and spontaneous and even a little bit silly (but
I should probably refrain from doing that at work.)
I CAN rejoice in the person that I am, the person I have been
(flaws and all), and the person that I will be
I CAN be me. You know... ME. The odd, giggly, crazy, driven,
perfectionistic, Amazonian who demands everything from
myself (and more)

I CAN… AND I WILL!
