After reading these it kind of struck a cord in me, I was looking at all these people who said to those famous people it couldn’t be done but in the end they ended up succeeding. I was just thinking of all the times that we are told by the enemy that it’s impossible, that the goal we are shooting for is too high, that the result we are trying to obtain is too hard to reach. But all to often instead of ignoring him and going on to win we allow his doubts to deter us and to stop us from obtaining our goal. But is we would just call his spade and spade and tell him to high tail it out of here cause we’re going to make it whether he likes it or not we would end up winning so many times more. I don’t know it was just something I was thinking about.
