Will Power and Determination
With the right mindset, everything can be done. Nothing Is Impossible! All the athletes competing in the paralympics prove this to us everytime. They begin by imagining the impossible and end up by accomplishing the impossible.
“When you fully focus your mind, you make the impossible possible ” that's what my sister Anna always tells me.
