About this ebook

Many of us today are addicted to “self-help” books, videos, seminars and almost anything about any area of life that we could possibly need to improve. They all have one thing in common. They tell us what is possible, if we want it, seek it, work for it, pray for it, and believe in it badly enough. 

What they DON’T tell us is that there are things that we CAN’T do—no matter how fervently we want, seek, work, pray, or believe. These things are the “can’ts.” They are life’s impossibilities, things we will not accomplish, rewards we will never realize. 

Over the years, author Steve Gottry has discovered 13 significant “you can’ts.” These 13 are deceptively simple. They are also simply deceptive. Most of us, in failing to achieve them, feel that we have been defeated by events and circumstances that we should have been able to control. But the problem has nothing to do with our inability to control things around us, and everything to do with how we deal with, and eventually accept, what we can and can’t do. 

This book is about living a life of contentment, by moving beyond your expectations and limitations. Understanding, and accepting these thirteen limitations, you will be free to maximize your potential in ways you never imagined possible. You’ll live your own life, rather than trying to live the lives of those around you, and you may also find subtle, simple ways to help those you love find happiness, too. Now is the perfect time to discover the 13 “you can’ts.”
