Stance

I'm telling you that you can do anything. You can fly. You can
build buildings. You can cook delicious meals. You can win
someone's heart and if you lose it, you can win it back. You can
learn to speak five languages. You can design and sell a t-shirt.
You can lead nations and rescue children and feed the hungry.
And you can sing and draw and do math. And you can win an
argument. You can travel the world. You can be your own boss.
You can overcome the obstacles and find the resources and build
coalitions and recover from your failings and every other adversity.
You can forgive. You can bend. You can lead by influence. You
can carry a burden and you can break free. You can rewire your
brain, rewrite history. You can do anything. You can even believe
in the darkest hour, faced with impossible odds, that you can.
