It Couldn't Be Done

Encouragement poems like It Couldn't Be Done can give you the drive and fortitude to do what many may think is impossible.

Everyone will say it was "easy" after something has been completed. But before the project is started, everyone will say it's impossible to do. Thank goodness there are people of purpose in our world that ignore the naysayers and do it anyway.

Without their ambitions and perseverance, we wouldn't have airplanes, telephones, or even electricity in our homes. Always remember--you can achieve anything that you set your mind to.

Ignore the doubters, meet each problem as it arises, and don't fear the "big picture" of completing your task. Always stay focused on the fact that it CAN be done.
