“Don’t ever let somebody tell you you can’t do something, not even me. Alright? You dream, you gotta protect it. People can’t do something themselves, they wanna tell you you can’t do it. If you want something, go get it. Period.”

"I can't" vs "I don't"
Every time you tell yourself “I can’t”, you’re indicating that you’re forcing yourself to do something you don’t want to do.
Tell yourself "I don’t do that" instead. You're punishing yourself by saying “I can’t,” because that is a reminder of your limitations.
