“ The “I Can’t” Eulogy • Join hands and bow your heads as we remember its remains…. . Friends, we gather today to honor the memory of ‘I Can’t’. While he was with us in our minds, he touched the lives of everyone, some more than others. His name unfortunately, has been spoken in every public building – schools, city halls, state capitols, and yes, even the White House. We have provided ‘I Can’t’ with a final resting place and a headstone that contains his epitaph. He is survived by his brothers and sister, ‘I Can’, ‘I Will’, and I’m Going to Right Away. ’ They are not as well known as their famous sibling and are certainly not as strong and powerful yet. Perhaps now with ‘I Can’t’ gone, and with your help, they will make an even bigger mark on the world. May ‘I Can’t rest in peace and may everyone present forget him, pick up their lives, and move forward in his absence. The decision you make to love yourself Is the most important decision you will ever make……

• Accept yourself: Stop worrying about the things you can’t change. Be more accepting of others and the things they can’t change. • Try not to compare with others. It’s unfair. You may compare their strengths with your weaknesses. Judge yourself in terms of your own growth Whatever you are doing, Love yourself for doing it. Whatever you are feeling, Love yourself for feeling it. Thadeus Golas

Have Realistic Expectations –We expect too much from ourselves. Perfection is not possible but bettering our-self should be a lifetime goal. -We are surrounded by people who appear to be perfect at everything and have everything. These are good to look at but, they have their problems too.

• Emphasize your strengths. • Change what can be changed. Some things change fast, others gradual, and others never. There are things we inherit and can’t change, but we can always change our attitude about them. • Try new experiences.

Watch the Words • What If………. (limits you) – What if somebody sees me? • So What……… (strengthens you) – So what if somebody sees me. • I Can’t……. . (limits you) – I can’t pass my math test. • I Can, I Will, I’m Going to Right Away! …(strengthens you) – There are two different people in the world. One that says “I wish I had” and the one that says “I’m glad I did”. Remember you can have anything in this world if you just believe in yourself.

Who you spend your time List of best friends with…. Would you take better care of yourself? Would you be kinder to yourself? Would you be more forgiving of your human imperfections? If you realized your best friend was yourself? Who is always with you everywhere? Who is on your side when others are unfair? And tell me, who will never let you down in any situation? Who will always see you get your share? And that’s why I’m a best friend to myself. And I take me out whenever I feel low. And I make my life as happy as a best friend would I’m as nice to me as anyone I know! If friends build you – keep them If they destroy you – dump them
