I am a big believer in people can pretty much do whatever they want to do if they put their minds to it. You just have to put in the work.
Yes, some people have to work a lot harder and for some it comes easier, but if you put in the work you will get there.
I prefer to think in terms of how can I do this rather than reasons why I can't.
I realize I am also extremely fortunate to live in a rural area where I don't have to worry much about the neighbors and to have a wife who is not only supportive but who is also my sometimes partner in crime.
