Are you tired of hearing about Charlie Sheen, yet?  I definitely am. I do have a confession to make: He was having a contest for someone to be his social media intern, and I applied. I made it to the 2nd round and then they canned me. I knew from the beginning that I probably wouldn't get the position. But I never thought that I couldn't.

In his famous interview where he drops his now branded words like "Tiger Blood" and "Winning", Charlie Sheen said something that was both head shakingly dumb, but it made me stop and think:

 

"Can't," he said, "is the cancer of happen".

 

Can't....is the cancer of Happen.

 

I've said it over and over in my head and as much of a non-funny thing that Cancer is, Sheen has a point, and for once, that point isn't injecting drugs into his veins. 

 

Can't = Unable. Not physically capable. 

Won't = No desire to.

Both words are equal killers of things happening. 

 

It's so easy to say can't. Even easier to think "Can't." About 100 times a day, I think "I can't do this." when in fact, I CAN do it, I just don't enjoy it. And, if that's the case, maybe the change needs to come from within me, not from the situation.

 

Charlie Sheen may be losing his mind, but there are SOME things that the guy says that are dripping with truth, and dare I say inspiration?

Thanks, Nancy! I can't believe I'm using Charlie Sheen for inspiration. Then again, whatever it takes, right? :)
