asylum for the rest of your days.
But the Wright brothers didn’t accept that flight was impossible. They simply

prove that human flight was possible.
Even though they had no physical proof and it had never been done before,

And then you can quit.
Or you can disagree. You can absolutely refuse to accept it and reach for your
greatness. You can say, “No, you’re wrong, and I’m going to prove it.”
The impossible only becomes possible in the moment you believe it is.
