When we say we can't, we are telling the universe that" it's okay, we don't need to accomplish that, no need to help me with this". It can add to our level of frustration and insecurities about how capable we are. But when we say we are trying, we signal that we may need help and that we will endeavour to keep going.

So for today ask yourself: When you say you can't, are you really done, have you tried everything you could, including asking for help? A lot of the time we just haven't learnt how to do something yet!
