I don't believe that many things are impossible to achieve so

Hear, O children of the ages, the voice of Cynthia Erivo, who declares: “I don’t believe that many things are impossible to achieve so long as you put your mind to it and take the time to get it done.” These words are not the idle murmur of the winds, but a song of courage, a summons to rise against despair. For in them lies the eternal truth: the chains of impossibility are forged not by the world, but by the weakness of man’s belief.

The ancients knew well that the human mind is a temple of boundless power. When the spirit is set aflame with purpose, mountains bow down, and seas open a path. To declare something impossible is to turn away from the divine spark within, the flame that was given to mankind to bend the world toward destiny. Erivo’s wisdom is the reminder that no task is too great, no dream too high, if one will but command the mind to endure and grant the labor of time.

Consider the tale of Thomas Edison, who sought to bring light where darkness reigned. Many mocked him, declaring his dream of the electric lamp to be folly. Yet Edison did not surrender to the chorus of “impossible.” With relentless trials—more than a thousand failures—he pressed on. He gave his mind to invention and his time to the work, until at last light conquered night. In his victory, he proved the truth that Erivo now proclaims: what seems unattainable bends before those who refuse to yield.

But beware, O traveler, for the path is not without trial. To put your mind to a goal is not to dream idly, but to labor fiercely. To give your time is not to wait in passivity, but to invest every hour as a seed of perseverance. The world whispers of shortcuts and easy triumphs, yet the ancient way is endurance. Like the sculptor striking marble, greatness is carved not in haste, but through countless blows of patient will.

There are those who falter, who abandon their work because the harvest does not come swiftly. They cry “impossible” and turn away, while the treasure lies just beyond the final barrier of effort. Remember this, children of tomorrow: impossibility often wears the mask of delay. He who endures a little longer than the rest claims the crown of victory.

The lesson is plain: guard your mind from doubt, and dedicate your time to steady action. Begin with faith that what you seek is possible, then carve your days into disciplined steps toward that end. Break great tasks into smaller labors, and honor each completed step as a victory. Do not measure your progress by speed, but by constancy.

Practical action awaits you: write down the vision that stirs your heart. Set aside sacred hours daily to labor toward it, however small the effort may seem. Celebrate not only the final triumph, but the persistence that carries you through each hour of striving. For it is not the distant prize alone, but the faithful journey, that crowns a life with greatness.

Thus, heed the voice of Erivo as if it were spoken from the mountain tops: few things are truly impossible; most are only waiting for the steadfast mind and the patient gift of time. Embrace these, and you shall carve a destiny that even the ancients would rise to honor.
