He Can Do, She Can Do, Why Not Me?

Dr Tae Yun Kim is a martial artist, an author, a speaker and much more. Here is an excerpt from her book, The Silent Master.

Always Remember:  He Can Do, She Can Do, Why Not Me?

We’ve discussed how bad habits can feel like such a part of you that you begin to think that they are you.  You must overcome this belief right at the start of the readiness stage, or you will be likely to sabotage your best efforts.In my Jung SuWon teaching, I have a saying that goes: He Can Do, She Can Do, Why Not Me? All your negative false beliefs can be changed because they do not reflect the true potential of your original self. Over and over again, my students have proved that they can do what seems impossible. After they enter a positive, supportive environment, they start to get in touch with the real and pure ideas of their true Self. They begin to feel the power of the words I can and I will and I know that come from their Silent Master consciousness. Which is more difficult? Breaking ten bricks with your bare hands or asking your boss for a raise? For some, breaking the ten bricks is easier.
One of my students weighed around 300 pounds when she enrolled in my Jung SuWon classes. When it came to time to do one of the exercises a simple tumbling move, forward rolls on a mat she quite naturally answered the question "Why Not Me?" with "Because I'm too fat!" To her surprise, she did it! What happened? She responded to the atmosphere of encouragement and accomplishment, and joined with others “who were creating success. And this victory gave her confidence to go on and create more victories. As you might expect, she's not 300 pounds any more.
Being ready for change ready for Self Discovery often means putting yourself in an environment that supports you. In this way, you are motivated by your environment instead of obstructed by it.
