  SPEAKER_00: We're still in the beginning months of 2023, and as you think about all the things you want to accomplish this year, your mind is probably consumed by one question, can I do this?
• 0:34
  SPEAKER_00: It's not a question of whether anybody needs to give you permission, rather, it's a question of whether you can muster the resources, energy, creativity, discipline, and focus in order to do things that you've never done before.

  SPEAKER_00: There's a lot of examples throughout history of people who face the question, can we do this, whenever they were staring a big challenge in the face.

  SPEAKER_00: One such example is the Apollo space program from the 1960s.

  SPEAKER_00: NASA was consumed by the question of whether they could develop the technology and processes to send a crew to the moon and bring them safely back to Earth.

  SPEAKER_00: But they kept forging ahead, and the question of can we do this was finally resolved when Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon on July 21st, 1969.

  SPEAKER_00: Just a couple weeks, in fact, before my older brother Don was born.
• 1:25
  SPEAKER_00: Doing this took resolve.
• 1:27
  SPEAKER_00: It took patience.
• 1:28
  SPEAKER_00: It took hundreds of thousands of people working in and around the space program to make that moment happen.

  SPEAKER_00: Now, you may not be going to the moon, in fact, you're probably not going to the moon, but you still have some pretty big goals.

  SPEAKER_00: And the truth is there's a price to pay if you want to reach those goals.

• 1:59
  SPEAKER_00: The answer, of course, is yes, you can do this.

  SPEAKER_00: But first, you've got to believe that it's possible.
