Nothing significant has ever been accomplished unless some man or woman dreamed it should be done. Someone believed it could be done. And then, most importantly, someone decided that it must be done.

If you say ‘can’t’, you are right. And it won’t be done. The psalm you sing is that it can be done.

And all problems must first be overcome or nothing will ever be attempted.

For you, a problem is a glorious challenge. You are willing to face life on a high trapeze without a safety net.
