that's really beautiful
Wow. Where was this fifty years ago,for me?
There is no bigger obstacle than the lack of your own belief in yourself. As Henry Ford famously said, "Whether you think you can, or think you can't, you are right."
I thought that was Dr.Suse. 🤪
@@arianebennion it was Confucius
🥺❤️
It was Ceausescu 😀
It was 100% Henry Ford guys..
You people are dumbing down future generations.
You never know what you can do and how great you are, until you begin it with bold step of I can!
Amen 🙏🏼
Beautifully said 🖤
I didn't know I liked poetry till I found this channel
I was a timid and nervous kid growing up, now I’ve just started a career as an Army infantry officer with big dreams.
This couldn’t have come at a better time, thank you for supporting the journey Redfrost!!
All the best to you, young man. Have a great adventure
All the best Sam 👊
Thank you for serving Sam! My prayers go with you. May St Micheal keep you safe always. 🙏🇺🇸💙
Good luck Sam! And go ahead for it 🙌🏼
These are the kinds of poems that should still be a part of every school syllabus❤
We conquer the world by conquering ourselves.
"Ambition and courage
It daily is crushing.
It blights a man's purpose
And shortens his aim."
no words.
Two percent of people think! Three percent of people Think they Think, and Ninety-Five percent of people would rather die than Think! Some people drink from the fountain of Knowledge, others just gargle. Amazing voice 🖖
- quoth the late, great Dr. Ken McFarland 🙌🛐
Funny caps u put in there. Think is lowercase in your first sentence and capitalized thrice in the second. 🤣😇
@@SizemicKick177 He or she who insults or is critical of a man or woman who makes a point of general criticism without a specific target, only exposes their own shame in why that message he or she did not hark it.
For the general point is like arrows notched to a bow and sent out in flight, and he or she who stands in the way of them it's because they deny what's in their sight.
Oh ye who speaks rashly at the sight of general mentions, how much more are ye a target by choice then if you can't stand correction?
I just want to cry after hearing this poem, is full of truth
"Action may not bring
Happiness;
But there is no
Happiness
Without action."
- Benjamin Disraeli

💯 true.
Shane Morris' voice is clothed with sound of wisdom.
"Somebody said that it couldn’t be done,
But he with a chuckle replied
That maybe it couldn’t, but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried."
~~Edgar A. Guest, It Couldn’t Be Done
If at first you dont succeed
Give up, it can't be done
Don't waste your life chasing dreams
Go out and have some fun.
So powerful and true. We say "can't" too much. Thank you for yet another beautiful post 🖤 Need to put it to good use, as I do with this channel to do my best.
To see beauty, you must also have a beautiful attitude that you have .
@@dishastudypoint5503 that's very sweet of you to say. Thank you.
Is can't an Iranian word ? Never heard of it
Sooo true
Lovely
I put my phone right next to my left ear, closed my eyes and listened deeply. I opened my eyes and tears slid because this hit the depth of my soul. Thank you for reminding me of my enemy.
Inspirational. This poem helps to restore mental grit and courage. Thank you.
If you can dream it, you can do it.

Wow...powerful words! Dont tell yourself you cant! Always work toward what you love and want.
Anything in life worth doing is worth overdoing. Moderation is for cowards👊
Thank you for such strong and life-affirming poetry! I am also a poet and love to read philosophical poems! I always try to adhere to this rule and not say: I can’t! This denial is heard from me only by scammers and enemies. Nobody else. When a person refuses to help another, not necessarily in material terms, then he thereby undermines his authority and can be branded in the eyes of fools as mediocre and lazy, just like them. In my opinion, it’s better to be at ease and do what you think is necessary, and don’t give a damn about slander and gossip, because as they say: whoever speaks badly behind your back will remain there forever, behind you and below.
_mind-blowing_ sound with Intriguing verses. Seems to be watching an epic medieval movie😍
For what I can't do is jump over highways, and much more, the four agreements to be impeccable with your word rings true here, for both can't and " can" can be true, but be very careful what you label what.
Watched this on repeat still gives me goosebumps
The last two lines gave me goosebumps

My favorite poem of all time
This is one of the themes of the best self-improvement book ever written called “seven habits of effective people”. And it drives home the point like nothing in the book.
I often said “can’t” in my childhood. And my parents would always reprimand me by saying “It’s not that you can’t, it’s that you won’t”. It grew on me, now I just say “I won’t” and I end up being the asshole in the room.
Well played sir, well played.
In my youth, my martial arts instructor drilled in is 'can't, don't say four letter words'.
Thank you……….beautiful words 🌹🧸♥️
