SELF TALK #2. "I CAN DO ANYTHING"

Too many times swimmers spend more time thinking they can't do something.  They will spend countless hours coming up with reasons why they can't do something.  The only limitations that you as a swimmer have, are those limitations that you place on yourself.  It's not about waiting for your ship to come in, sometimes you may need to swim out to the ship.  Don't sit around waiting for opportunities to arise, go ahed and create your own opportunities.  we all have doubts, we all have fears but you can't let those hurdles stop you.  Take action to clear those hurdles and overtime you say "I can" you are one step closer to your goals and dreams.  

Be consistent in your belief and yard by yard you will move forward.  Remove "I can't" from your vocabulary and replace it with action, an inner confidence that YOU can do anything.
