Jesus said unto him, "No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God."
Luke 9:62 KJV

Watch your Cant's and Can's

If you would have some worthwhile plans
You've got to watch your can't and can's;
You can't aim low and then rise high

You can't succeed if you don't try
You can't go wrong and come out right.
You can't love sin and walk in the light
You can't throw time and means away
And live sublime from day to day.

You can be great if you'll be good.
And do God's will as well men should
You can ascend life's upward road,
Although you bear a heavy load
You can be honest, truthful, clean,
By turning from the low and mean
You can uplift the souls of men
By the words and deeds, or by your pen.
So watch your can't and watch your can's.

And watch your walks and watch your stands,
And watch the way you talk and act,
And do not take the false for fact,
And watch the things that mar or make,
For life is great to every man.
Who lives to do the best he can.

As you go through your day, keep in mind that your life goes in the direction you aim it. A popular saying in recent years sums up this idea succinctly: "Whether you think you can, or can't... you're right." Havr an "I can" attitude today, and then pursue excellence with all your ability.

"People can alter their lives by altering their attitudes."
