I love this quote from Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking Glass". Alice says at first that "There's no use trying, one can't believe in impossible things." But the queen responds by saying "I daresay you haven't had much practice. When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."
It is easy to get discouraged; sometimes people say something is impossible, there's no use trying. Often it is ourselves - we come to believe that something is impossible and give up before we even try. But Alice is a girl who comes to learn that she can believe in and do impossible things. Tim Burton & Johnny Depp teamed up for a truly weird but wonderful retelling of the story in 2010. Spoiler alert, here's a clip from the end, when Alice realizes her ability to believe in impossible things.
What impossible things will you do today?
"Six: I can slay the Jabberwocky."
