If you keep saying you can't

I was watching The Glee Project  on my computer.  In case you don't know,  The Glee Project is a new reality series where young people (teens and 20's) show off their singing and acting talents to the creators of  Glee.  The winner of this show will get a role on Glee.  This show is OK.  I watch it sometimes but something caught me in this last episode.  Ellis, the person they sent home, is apparently a very negative person.  The other contestants even talked about how her negativity affected their mood.  It comes accross as a bad attitude.  Ellis of course had to "sing for her life".  They gave her a jazz song.  She did a good job and was very comfortable.  In the end, It was her attitude that got her sent home.  One of the judges said something like:  If you keep saying you can't, who am I to keep saying you can?  That question struck me.

I will remember that every time I audition for a solo in choir.  I can.  I can.These are things I know I can do.

• I can talk to people.  Find out things about them.  If they need help, point them in the right direction.   
• I can sing.
• I can act a bit.
• I can learn.
• I can create short videos.
• Speak in public
• Create presentations.
• Use a computer
• Express myself

That's a lot of stuff.  Why don't I have a job?  What can you do?  Take care.
