Prove It!

Prove it to yourself that you are able to do it.

Back in the teenage years, when we were learning things, we wanted to do our very best – just to prove to the adults in our life that we were grown-up. And we knew how to do it (whatever we were learning). We did this learning how to drive and park a car,  learning how to paint a door’s threshold, how to mow the grass, how to bake…whatever it was, we wanted to prove it that we could do it and we were capable.

We need to re-examine this today for ourselves, and our youth. We need to prove…have the ‘prove it’ mentality that ‘I can do it’! I can do hard things, I can learn this new skill, I am perfectly capable if I just get started.

This does two major things.

1. It gives us a certain amount of stick-to-it-iveness where we stick to something long enough to learn how to grasp the concept. 
2. We prove to ourselves we could do it…because we did!

What is something I need to prove to myself today I can do?
