Girls Can't What?

Yesterday, a website caught my attention and I couldn't keep myself from going there.  I went to the site solely based on its name: 

Girls Can't What.com

What a great name for a website, a book or a business targeting women!

I have two daughters, now 25 and 28. Both are making their mark on the world. Both of them have great great personalities and intellect. 

And underneath that, and more than that, they both have grit. That's right, grit.

I don't know why, but I like that word. It just sounds tough, like it's something that's not going to go away until it gets what it wants.

And I like the question "Girls Can't What?"

The question pushes back at the idea of arbitrary limits. It pushes back at the idea that someone can tell someone else what they can or cannot do.

Whether you're male or female, it takes grit to go for what you want. And to keep going when everything seems hopeless.

The next time you're wondering if you can do something, or if you've been at it a while and not sure you can take another step, remember the spirit of "Girls Can't What?"

The next time life or some person tells you "Who do you think you are? You can't do that! You can't have that! You can't be that!..." remember the spirit of "Girls Can't What?!!"

Whatever gender you are, that's bound to stir up the grit in you!
