"Can't you do it? Or don't you want to?" The magical question that moves you forward

I can't do this anymore... I've reached my limit...
Don't those words ever cross your mind?

When you are taking on a challenge, there is always a moment when you hit a wall.
When your efforts aren't rewarded, when you lose confidence, or when you feel like your heart is about to break.

But—
Is it truly that you "can't" do it?
Or perhaps you are just creating a "reason not to want to" within yourself.

⸻

It is always "yourself" who sets the limits

For example,
"I'm tired today, so maybe I don't have to do it."
"I'm not feeling motivated, so maybe tomorrow is fine."

Haven't those days been continuing?

Of course, resting is also important.
But what if the reason you've decided you "can't" do it is actually just an "excuse because you don't want to"?
You might be overlooking a chance to take a step forward.

The power of "one more step" I learned from soccer

This is a story from when I was playing soccer.
Daily practice, intense heat, cold winds, and the battle against injuries.
It wasn't just once or twice that I felt, "I've reached my limit."

But strangely, the real work began after I thought, "I can't do this anymore."
When my heart was about to break, I would ask myself:

"Can't you do it? Or don't you want to?"

It was the same on the day I aimed for 10,000 juggles.
I failed many times along the way, almost gave up many times, and stood back up many times.
And when I finally achieved it, for the first time, I felt I had "surpassed myself."

The "me who can still do it" is always deep inside my heart.
Whether or not you can notice that existence. That is all it is.

If you give it your all, your life will change

The reason why it's scary to give it your all.
It's the anxiety of wondering what will happen if you try your best and it doesn't work out.
That's why you tend to hold back a little.
Because it's easier to think, "I haven't given it my all yet."

But someday, you might regret it.

"If only I had given it my all back then..."
"If only I had taken one more step..."

If it's going to come to that, it's better to give it your all right here and now.
You never know what might change.
But the possibility of change is certainly there.

Let's ask ourselves this magical question

When you hit a wall.
When you feel like things aren't going well.
When your heart stops moving forward.

At times like that, please ask yourself quietly:
• "Can you really not do it?"
• "Or do you just not want to?"
• "Are you creating a limit for yourself right now?"

When you answer this question honestly,
the energy that was sleeping deep in your heart should suddenly rise up.

⸻

Finally: You can still do it. You can still do it.

If you give it your all, you can change.
And you will be able to move your life forward with your own will.

"Can't you do it? Or don't you want to?"

With these words in your heart, let's take another step forward today.
You can still do it. You can still do it.
