When others hear about her accomplishments, their first thought is: "Oh, I could never do that!"
My question back at this is: Why? Why could you never do that? Barring any physical disability, what is stopping you from accomplishing and achieving your dreams?
I have heard the same thing about writing for all my life. Others were so flabbergasted when they heard I was writing a novel back in college. They'd ask, day after day, how much I had written and how long the novel was so far. When it got past the 500 and 600-page marks, one even stopped believing that it was true. She thought I was joking. I wasn't.
Could I run a marathon?
Yes.
Not today. But I could train for it, if that was what I wanted to accomplish.
Can I write a novel?
Yes, absolutely. I've done it. Several times.
Some tasks you do easily while others look at as insurmountable.
What's stopping you from doing something you want to do but somehow can't? Want a hint as to who or what it is? Look in the mirror.
