inevitable failure

Inspired by the nap I took in a public academic building after claiming a month prior that I’d never be capable of doing that.

I’ve noticed that the second I make a claim “I can’t do *insert something*”, that I seem to almost instantly turn around and do that something. Maybe it’s a subconscious act of stubbornness or maybe I simply feel the need to contradict my own claims. It is almost frustrating to wholeheartedly believe you aren’t capable of something and then eventually be proven wrong. I need to be more careful about the things I claim I can’t do, because the pattern shows that the ‘can’t’ doesn’t last very long. I should start saying things like “I can’t be super nice and fun to be around today”, and “I am unable to have strictly pure intentions”. I am so used to failing at everything in my life, that I just need to switch the mindset to align with that reality- to have what I fail at be something I’d want to be a failure for.
