Is it true?

There are things we all know. There are rules and laws and just 'the way things are'. We certainly know that what goes up must come down. We certainly know that water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Well, apparently even that isn't necessarily true. As it turns out, if water is in a perfectly smooth bottle and doesn't come in contact with any dust it can stay liquid all the way down to -40 degrees Fahrenheit. (I saw this in an article on msnbc.)

It just reminds us that all those things we know to be true may, in fact, not be true at all, or may not be true under certain circumstances.

So the next time you tell yourself that something can't be done, or that something must be done a certain way, it might be worth rethinking the situation. There are all kinds of people in the world who have done amazing and incredible things, things that we thought "couldn't be done". So why not you? Why can't you do something different? Why can't you go against the norm? Why can't you follow your gut and do what you know is right for you?
